We bet you'll dance a jig once you taste this fig. (This is our pitch for a fig ad campaign; we're seeing dancing figs, maybe playing instruments to a famous song. No, no, no, not like any raisin campaign from the 80s, why would you ask?) Tangy sweet balsamic with subtle sweet fig on top of succulent chicken? We heard it through the grapevine this'll be your next favorite Home Chef meal.
