Instructions

Creating Balsamic Fig Glazed Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Make the Glaze: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Balsamic Vinegar: Pour in the balsamic vinegar and bring it to a simmer.
6. Incorporate Figs and Honey: Add the quartered figs and honey to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
7. Return Chicken to the Skillet: Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, coating them with the glaze.
8. Cook Until Done: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has thickened.
9. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired before serving.
