Ingredients

    2/3 cup all-purpose flour
    Fresh cracked black pepper
    8 (3- to 4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1/4 cup minced onion
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    3/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
    1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
    2/3 cup dried whole figs, halved
    1 orange, peeled and roughly chopped
    1 teaspoon chopped rosemary

Directions

Place flour in a shallow dish. Pat-dry chicken with paper towels and sprinkle with pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When oil just starts to smoke, carefully add chicken and reduce heat to medium. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.

Add onions to skillet and cook 2 minutes over medium heat until lightly browned. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add orange juice and vinegar and bring mixture to a simmer, stirring to loosen browned bits in the pan. Add figs and cook 2 minutes or until figs start to plump. Add any accumulated chicken juice from resting chicken breasts. Remove from heat and add orange and rosemary. Spoon chutney over chicken and serve.
