Balsamic Fig Chicken
with Roasted Broccoli & Mixed Greens
- Milk
We’re big fans of pan sauces because they’re a simple way to add extra flavor to any dish. Here, fig jam, balsamic vinegar, shallot, and fresh rosemary mingle with the fond—the crispy bits and drippings left by the chicken. The result is a condiment that you’ll want to drizzle all over your meat and potatoes before swiping up every bit of sweet and savory perfection.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Swap in broccoli for potatoes; roast 12-15 minutes. (Save potatoes for another use.)
• While potatoes roast, halve, peel, and mince shallot. Strip 1 tsp rosemary leaves from stems (2 tsp for 4 servings); finely chop leaves. Halve lemon.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Lower heat to medium.
• Add shallot, chopped rosemary, and a drizzle of olive oil to same pan. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in vinegar and jam. Simmer until syrupy, 1 minute. • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1∕3 cup for 4 servings). Cook until thick and glossy, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Add a splash of water if sauce seems too thick. • Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Season with salt and pepper.
• While sauce simmers, in a medium bowl, toss mixed greens with a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice chicken crosswise. • Divide chicken and potatoes between plates. Drizzle chicken with sauce. Serve salad on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
By far our favorite recipe. That balsamic fig reduction sauce could be eaten by itself. YUM. Will order it every time it's offered.
Loved the balsamic fig sauce chicken. So easy to make and so delicious
The balsamic reduction is delicious! This is one of my favorite dishes!
Subbed my potatoes for broccoli. Very filling, easy and yummy. Love the lemon and oil on the salad.
Fig sauce was not as decadent as I expected...was just sugary. Since this was a splurge dinner on our low carb diet, I could have just as well used our sugar free jam. Also, would have rated higher if I didn't have to pay extra for the healthier side option of broccoli instead of potato
This was the very first recipe that we tried as a family. And it is what got us hooked. It was so delicious.
The sauce was awesome! We've had a similar sauce with one of their pork dishes. Very good with chicken too.
I haven been adding salt to any of the recipes. My suggestion is if you want salt, add after the fact. This was delicious on its own, no salt. No need for additional sodium in my opinion. Sauce was delicious
This meal was simple, quick and the sauce is so good!! One of my favorites!
Chicken was fantastic. Broccoli was good but had no recipe to go with it. Mixed greens were meh. Could've done without them.
