Instructions

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

3. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, chopped figs, brown sugar, and garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

4. Add the cooked chicken to the balsamic fig sauce and turn to coat the chicken evenly. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked through.

5. Sprinkle the chicken with the dried thyme and serve immediately.

Notes

This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. The balsamic fig glaze can also be used on pork chops or salmon.
