  • 2 tsps chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil (plus 2 additional tsp)
  • 2 ozs feta

  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 8 fresh figs, cut in small dice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
Directions

Tasting notes: We love pairing figs with Pinot because the sweetness of the fig is such a great contrast to the fruit and acidity in the Pinot.

Serena's tips: I make the fig compote (step 5) first so that I can skip transferring the chicken to a baking sheet to keep warm in the oven. You can also decrease the quantity of figs in order to decrease the sweetness level.
