Chicken with figs and pine nuts - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute fresh figs with dried figs in this recipe?

Yes, you can use dried figs, but soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften before slicing. Adjust sweetness as dried figs are more concentrated.

What can I use instead of pine nuts if I have an allergy?

Try almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds for a similar crunch. Toast them lightly for extra flavor.

How should I store leftovers, and how long will they last?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain crispiness.

Can I make this dish vegetarian?

Replace chicken with portobello mushrooms or tofu. Adjust cooking time as veggies may cook faster.

What’s the best side dish to serve with this chicken?

Pair with a simple arugula salad, quinoa, or roasted potatoes to balance the sweet and savory flavors.

Can I freeze this dish for later?

Freeze without the fig topping for best results. Thaw in the fridge overnight, add fresh figs when reheating.

How can I make this recipe low-carb?

Skip the honey or use a sugar-free substitute. Reduce figs or replace with low-carb berries like raspberries.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers without drying out the chicken?

Cover with foil and reheat at 325°F (160°C) for 15-20 minutes. Add a splash of broth to keep it moist.
