Ingredients:

Serving

3 lemons
1 cup dried mission figs
5 chicken breasts
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup water

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400.
Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Trim the ends from 1 lemon: cut into very thin, round slices (about 12).
Place the lemon slices and the figs in the baking dish.
You may want extra lemon slices.
They are really good to eat after they have been cooking under the chicken.
Arrange the chicken breast or pieces.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Squeeze enough juice from the remaining 2 lemons to equal 3 tablespoons; transfer to a small bowl.
Stir in the brown sugar, vinegar and water.
Pour the lemon mixture over the chicken; cover the baking dish loosely with foil.
Roast the chicken 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and roast, uncovered, basting the chicken twice, until cooked through, 15 minutes more.
With a slotted spoon transfer the chicken, figs and lemon slices with a slotted spooon to a serving platter.
Discard the fat from the pan drippings; spoon over the chicken.
