Pistachio, figs & blue cheese chicken 🥜

Featured

Hi Hi all,

Big apologises for not putting any recipes up I’ve just had a couple days away from home, I believe everyone deserves a break huh :p

So Today’s dinner is a combination of savoury and sweet, the only reason that is- is because I fancied some figs today, so thought I could out them in today’s dinner.

The recipe is usual just for one person (my fiancé) 😋

So scroll bellow to see the recipe

Ingredients :-

  • 2 small chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 onion powder
  • 5 soft figs
  • 4 fresh figs for sauce
  • 1 pinch of rosemary dried
  • Chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Handful of pistachios ( unshelled, or take them out of shells yourself)
  • Butter
  • Blue cheese
  • Potatoes to serve
  • Method :-
    • Preheat oven to 190c degrees then get out a baking sheet and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together blue cheese, soft figs, pistachios, garlic and onion powders, salt, and pepper. 
    • Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket horizontally into each chicken breast then stuff with fig mixture. Close opening with toothpicks if desired.
    • Combine flour, salt, and pepper then dredge both sides of the chicken breasts, tapping excess flour off.
    • Add extra virgin olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken then saute until golden brown on one side, 3-4 minutes, and then flip and saute until golden brown on the other side, 2-3 minutes. Transfer chicken to baking sheet then bake until cooked through, 15 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, add chicken broth, fresh figs, balsamic vinegar, and dried rosemary to skillet then turn heat down to medium and simmer until sauce is thick and syrupy, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add butter then stir until smooth, and then taste and add salt and pepper if desired. Sift through the sauce mixture so you don’t have any solid ingredients in

    Serve 🙂
