Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Season the chicken with chili powder and salt, to taste. Lay the chicken in the skillet skin side down and cook until brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the chicken, transfer the pan to the oven, and cook until firm, basting occasionally with the pan drippings, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, make the fresh tomato salsa: Toss the tomatoes with the jalapeno, onion, and the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with the remaining salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Stir the paste into the salsa with the olive oil and 1/4 cup of cilantro.
- When chicken is cooked through, transfer the pieces to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. In the meantime, add the lime juice to the pan. After 1 minute, add the honey along with the chicken stock to heat through. Remove pan from heat and stir in reserved 1/4 cup cilantro and butter.
- To serve, divide the chicken among 4 plates, drizzle with pan sauce, and spoon some salsa over and around.

GRILLED BALSAMIC CHICKEN
I love the unique flavor of Balsamic Vinegar. This is one of my favorite ways to grill chicken. I would suggest doubling the marinade if you want more to use as a dipping sauce. This marinade is also excellant on Pork Chops! NOTE: Plan Ahead! Marinate 4-6 hours or overnight. Not included in cook time.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful balsamic vinegar, and succulent chicken breasts will make all the difference.
- Don't overcrowd the grill. Make sure there is enough space between the chicken breasts so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, grilled potatoes, or a fresh salad are all great options.
