FIG-GLAZED CHICKEN WITH WHITE BEANS

Fig-Glazed Chicken with White Beans image

Sauteed shallots, fig jam, rosemary, lemon and sherry vinegar make a delightful sauce for both the chicken and the beans. My husband couldn't believe how well the white beans absorbed the flavor, making this a grand slam. Matchstick carrots can be added to the bean mixture for extra color, flavor and crunch. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois
