Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan, combine chopped dried figs, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of cinnamon over medium heat.
Stir the mixture until the figs soften and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Brush the spiced fig glaze over the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling for added flavor.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the sliced chicken and garnish with toasted walnuts and fresh thyme or rosemary for an elegant presentation.
