Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 fresh figs, stemmed and quartered
1 ½ cups chicken broth
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 large shallot, sliced lengthwise
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
fresh rosemary, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken thighs and cook, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add figs, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and shallot. Bring contents to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and let simmer until chicken thighs are no longer pink in the centers and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 8 minutes. Transfer thighs to a serving plate and keep warm.
  • Remove figs from the skillet using a slotted spoon and place them around the chicken on the plate.
  • Add minced rosemary to the skillet contents, increase heat to medium-high, and allow contents to come to a full boil to create a the reduction. Continue to boil, stirring often, until liquid reduces to approximately 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle balsamic reduction over chicken and figs and garnish with rosemary sprigs. Serve warm.
