Steps:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper on top of the cheese and wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Paint the outside of each fig very lightly with olive oil.
- Put the figs on the grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each and serve. It's figgy delicious!

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a slit into the thick side of each chicken breast about 2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches deep.

Steps:
- Place each chicken breast on large sheet of wax paper, cover with second sheet, and pound with meat pounder or rolling pin until 1/4-inch thick throughout. Each pounded breast should measure roughly 6 inches wide and 8 inches long. Cover and refrigerate while preparing filling.
- For filling, heat butter in medium skillet over low heat until melted; add onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer; set aside. In medium bowl, beat cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Stir in onion mixture, gorgonzola, almonds, figs, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Place breasts on work surface; season with salt and pepper. Spoon filling into center of chicken, roll, and wrap each breast. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 400 degrees. Beat eggs with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon water in second pie plate or shallow baking dish. Spread bread crumbs in separate pie plate or shallow baking dish. With tongs, dip rolled chicken breasts in egg mixture; let excess drip off. Transfer to bread crumbs; shake pan to roll breasts in crumbs, then press with fingers to help crumbs adhere. Place breaded chicken breasts on large wire rack set over jelly-roll pan.
- Heat remaining oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, but not smoking, about 4 minutes; add chicken, seam side down, and cook until medium golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn each roll and cook until medium golden brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Return chicken rolls, seam side down, to wire rack set over jelly-roll pan; bake until deep golden brown about 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing each roll crosswise diagonally into 5 medallions; arrange on individual dinner plates and serve.

Tips:
- To make sure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, pound them to an even thickness before stuffing and cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in the chicken breasts for the stuffing. This will help prevent the stuffing from falling out during cooking.
- Don't overstuff the chicken breasts. This will make them difficult to cook evenly.
- Use a toothpick to secure the opening of the chicken breasts after stuffing. This will help keep the stuffing inside.
- For a crispy crust, sear the chicken breasts in a hot skillet before baking.
- Bake the chicken breasts in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Chicken breasts stuffed with figs, prosciutto, and gorgonzola are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. They are relatively easy to make, but they look and taste like they came from a fancy restaurant. These chicken breasts are sure to impress your guests.
