Sweet and tangy. This is a refreshing meal that I serve over couscous. Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can figs in syrup |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup white vinegar |
1 red onion, diced |
1 yellow bell pepper, diced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded 1/2 inch thick |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Remove figs from syrup; cut each fig into quarters. Reserve 1/4 cup of syrup.
2. Heat water and sugar in a sauce pan over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved and water begins to simmer. Reduce heat to medium; add white vinegar, red onions, yellow peppers, figs, and syrup. Return to a simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts, one at a time, until browned and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from pan to a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Add to fig sauce, stirring constantly until sauce is thickened.
5. Serve chicken breasts topped with the fig sauce.
