Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the ingredients

Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the stems from the figs and cut them into quarters. Peel and thinly slice the shallots.

2
Season the chicken

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

3
Cook the chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4
Sauté shallots

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

5
Add figs and honey

Add the quartered figs to the skillet with the shallots. Drizzle the honey over the figs and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the figs start to soften and release their juices.

6
Add broth and thyme

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and add the thyme sprigs. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the figs are tender.

7
Return chicken to the skillet

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the fig sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.

8
Season and serve

Remove the thyme sprigs and discard. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed. Serve the Chicken in Fig Sauce hot, spooning the sauce and figs over the chicken. Enjoy your delightful and unique meal!
