Sherri's Notes:

Perfectly grilled & juicy chicken seasoned with Italian herbs with a sweet tangy fig glazed topped with warm creamy goat cheese and fresh mint is the perfect 4th of July entrée. Add you favorite sides and you will be the queen or king of the day. Cooking with Passion, sw :)

 

Directions

1
Combine ingredients 2-7 in a mixing bowl. Add chicken and coat well. Transfer chicken and marinate to a zip lock bag. Marinate chicken breast 3-4 hours. Remove from fridge
2
Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking. Grill chicken for 6 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165 F degrees. Meanwhile add the fig glaze ingredients to a small pan to heat through.
3
The last 2 minutes of grilling time, brush chicken breasts with fig glaze and top with goat cheese
4
Drizzle remaining glaze and top with remaining mint.

Sherri ... This looks fabulous and it was my intention to fix it for my husband for Father's Day. However, I like to make a recipe exactly as written the first time I try it, and I cannot find fig preserves anywhere. Have you ever used a substitute?

yes i have...substitute your favorite preserves...i've use peach and even your favorite jams will be perfect. i would use white balsamic vinegar for lighter fruits and regular balsamics for darker fruits...i hope this helps...sw☺
