Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion—sliced in rings
- salt & pepper
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon peach or apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
- 6-8 figs—stemmed and halved
- 1 ciabatta loaf (or 2-4 rolls)
- spring greens salad mix
- 1 crisp pear—thinly sliced
Instructions:
- To prepare the Chicken: Combine worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let the chicken marinate in the mixture for up to an hour. Grill the chicken on a medium-high grill until it is fully cooked. Cut it into thin slices.
- To make the Carmelized Onions: Heat 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook the onions over medium heat until they turn a golden color and develop a rich flavor. Remove the onions from the pan, but keep the remaining oil and butter on medium heat for the figs.
- For the Figs: Place the figs face down in the hot oil and butter mixture. Sautee them until they become golden and slightly chewy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- To prepare the Spread: Mix together cream cheese, blue cheese, nuts, jam, rosemary, and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.
- Creating the Dish: Generously spread the cream cheese mixture on both slices of bread. Layer on the grilled chicken, pears, carmelized onions, and sauteed figs. Serve with a side of spring salad. Enjoy your meal!
