Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potato and sweet potato into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces. Strip 1 tbsp thyme leaves (dbl for 4 ppl) from stems, then finely chop.
Add potatoes, half the garlic puree, half the thyme and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Arrange potatoes in a single layer. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until golden-brown, 22-24 min.
Meanwhile, add broccoli, 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) and remaining garlic puree to another unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the top of the oven until tender-crisp, 13-15 min.
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast, lengthwise and parallel to the cutting board, leaving 1/2-inch intact on the other end. Open up chicken like a book. Season both sides with salt, pepper and remaining thyme.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Cook, until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** When chicken is almost cooked through, add fig spread and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pan. Using a spoon, baste chicken with fig spread until sticky, 1-2 min.
Divide chicken, potatoes and broccoli between plates. Spoon any remaining fig spread from the pan over chicken.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the fig sauce, though some found it too sweet or lacking flavor; several suggested adding more sauce.
- Ease of prep: Stripping thyme leaves was time-consuming for some; roasting vegetables in an air fryer can speed up cooking.
- Suggestions: Consider increasing the amount of fig sauce and adding seasoning or sauce to the vegetables for more flavor.
- Portions: Some felt there were too many potatoes compared to other ingredients; others noted small or insufficient sweet potatoes.
- Cooking: Roasting broccoli at a lower temperature may prevent overcooking; ensure chicken is fully cooked through.
