From the Test Kitchen

The flavor of fig—a Mediterranean fruit beloved for its rich, densely sweet complexity—elevates the irresistible glaze for tender sautéed carrots in this dish. We’re serving them alongside a classic duo of simply seared chicken and mashed potatoes, which get pleasantly tangy flavor from creamy goat cheese.
