  6. While the chicken is cooking, mix together the garlic, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small jug.

  7. Pour the mixture into the pan around the chicken and bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally, until the glaze has slightly thickened

  8. Transfer pan to the preheated oven and continue to cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted.
