Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 Chicken Breasts

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 tbsp. Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Low Sodium Vegetable Broth
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tsp. Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Dried Figs, finely chopped

 

Directions:

  • Sprinkle both sides of the defrosted chicken breasts with thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Cook the chicken in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking. Cook for six minutes on each side.
  • Once the chicken is finished, remove it from the skillet and add the onion to the skillet.
  • Sauté the onion for three minutes, or until softened.
  • Next, add the butter, broth, soy sauce, figs and balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for three minutes.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half diagonally and add them to the sauce then serve.
