Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Lightly pound the thicker part of the chicken breasts, so that the whole breast has a similar thickness (but not too much, they still need to look like chicken breasts and not fillets). Season well with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the ingredients for the marinade.
  3. Place the chicken in a small baking dish, pour the marinade over the meat, leave for about half an hour to marinate or longer (overnight, in a refrigerator).
  4. Preheat the oven to 175 ° C / 347 °F / Gas Mark between 3 and 4.
  5. Slice the figs and arrange on the meat.
  6. Put the chicken in a preheated oven and bake for about 22 minutes. You can check if the meat is ready by measuring its internal temperature, it should be 74°C / 165°F. The baking time may vary depending on the size of the meat and type of the oven.
  7. While the chicken is baking, you can cook the potatoes and green beans.
  8. Remove the chicken from the oven, leave to rest for about 5-10 minutes. Transfer on plates and serve, spoon the sauce from the baking dish over the meat.
  9. Enjoy!
