Ingredients

  • 200g veggie chicken pieces/strips
  • 3-4 small figs, quartered
  • 1 tsp chopped garlic
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 3 fresh sage leaves, chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over a medium heat and sauté the chicken pieces for a couple of minutes.
  2. Add in the garlic, quartered figs, chopped sage leaves, sprigs of rosemary and honey, and mix together. Cook for a further 10 minutes until the honey has caramelised and the chicken has browned slightly.
  3. Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar and serve immediately whilst everything is still hot. (I love to serve this chicken with a fresh seasonal salad, some chunks of goats cheese and an extra drizzle of balsamic vinegar but you can choose whatever you like!)
