For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, and rosemary for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If fresh figs are not available, you can substitute with dried figs, but be sure to plump them in warm water for about 15 minutes before adding them to the skillet. Serve this dish with a side of creamy polenta, couscous, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious balsamic reduction.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepHeat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken thighs in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. (Cook time: 8 minutes)
03
StepAdd the quartered figs, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and sliced shallot to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 8 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C). (Cook time: 16 minutes)
04
StepUsing a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the chicken thighs and figs to a serving platter and keep warm. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
StepStir the minced fresh rosemary into the remaining liquid in the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to about 1 cup and thickened into a syrupy balsamic reduction. (Cook time: 10 minutes)
06
StepDrizzle the balsamic reduction generously over the chicken thighs and figs. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve immediately. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
