Green Tea teriyaki Chicken

I made this a while ago  and have added it to my recipe book.  I hope you do the same.  It is from Taste of home:
3 1/2 tsp green tea leaves, divided
1 C boiling water
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp reduced soy sauce
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp minced fresh gingerroot
1/8 tsp sesame oil
4 bonesless skinless chicken breasts

Place 2 1/2 tsp tea leaves in a small bowl; add boiling water.  Cover and steep for 5-6 minutes.
Strain and discard leaves; pour tea into large skillet.  Stir in the honey, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced to roughly 3/4 cup.
Add chicken and remaining tea leaves; cover and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until done. Cut chicken into thin slices; serve with sauce.
