Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Heat canola oil in a large, oven-safe sauté pan over high heat until shimmering. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Carefully place chicken breasts into the hot oil and sear until golden brown on one side, about 3 to 5 minutes.

05

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together fig butter, Dijon mustard, and Champagne vinaigrette until smooth. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Flip the chicken breasts using tongs and brush the tops with the fig mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. (1 minute)

07

Step

Transfer the sauté pan to the preheated oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

08

Step

Remove from the oven, tent the chicken breasts loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the pan before baking.
If you don't have Champagne vinaigrette, you can substitute with a high-quality white wine vinegar or even a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a simple green salad for a complete and balanced meal.
