Add the pears and continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are soft and golden brown.In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, honey and cornstarch. Pour over the pear mixture. Increase the heat to high until it comes to a boil, then immediately lower the heat and simmer, stirring frequently for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Return the chicken and any juices to the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
