You need to make this sophisticated, seasonal, and healthy dinner. Even better, it is made all in one pan! It is also simple to make on the weeknights, taking 30 minutes max.
The acidic flavor of the balsamic vinegar pairs perfectly with the sweet figs, and the chicken is perfectly tender. Figs are in season late summer to fall, so definitely take advantage of them while you can!
Pasture-raised chicken: Contains 50% more vitamin A, three times the amount of omega-3s, and letting animals graze and roam is great for the environment! I purchase 100% pasture-raised meat online from US Wellness or Grassroots Co Op (Use code “LIVNATURALLY” for 15% off)
Balsamic vinegar: Contains acetic acid that has a probiotic strain to aid in digestion. It is also good for regulating blood sugar
Garlic: Helps protect cells from oxidative damage, supports the immune system, and can help reduce blood pressure
Dijon mustard: Rich in antioxidants from vinegar and spices that protect cells and promote digestion
Thyme: Rich in flavonoids, antioxidants, and antimicrobial properties for overall bodily health
Figs: Rich in fiber, antioxidants, and minerals that promote digestion and heart health. Look for fresh!
Figs and balsamic vinegar are a heavenly pair, so definitely try this seasonal recipe for a balanced meal! It is full of flavor and feels sophisticated while being effortless, so this is a recipe sure to impress.
