"This is a Cooking Light recipe with slight changes. I love figs for a snack, and was thrilled to find this fabulous chicken recipe using figs. It is also quick compared to cooking chicken in the oven. I'll definitely make this one again. Fancy enough for a dinner party, easy enough for everyday."

Very good chicken which the figs made sweeter than the usual chicken we have. Served over rice and served with zucchini. Thanks for sharing!
