Egyptian Lemon Chicken With Figs image

This is a slight adaptation of a recipe found at Recipes4us.co.uk. The figs are tender and sweet but the lemon and thyme balance that out quite nicely. The fig's flavor makes me think of a raisin, cranberry and a cherry all mixed together. Sweet, but tangy at the same time. A super easy dish to put together & even easier to eat! :D

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 -8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 lemons
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 ounces white wine vinegar
2 ounces water
3/4 lb dried fig (I buy them in the bulk section of the grocery store)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons thyme (fresh or dried)
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°.
  • Squeeze the juice from one of the lemons into a small bowl, add the brown sugar, vinegar and water. Mix well and set aside.
  • Slice the remaining lemon and arrange evenly, along with the figs in a 13x9 baking dish.
  • Place the chicken thighs on top in a single layer, then drizzle the vinegar mixture over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle with the thyme and salt.
  • Bake at 400° for about 40 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and juices run clear, basting half-way through cook time.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.
