Got Figs? Put 'Em in Your Chicken!

I modified this recipe by cooking it in my crockpot and using six chicken thighs. I also used preserved figs in syrup instead of the dried variety. I did not have store bought gnocchi, so I made my own from this recipe. It tasted fine, but looked different than I expected.

Ingredients (all stuff I had on hand):


My sweet little sous chef adding the salt!


The gnocchi dough once kneaded and then cut into bite size.


Finished products:


Both were a hit with my guys, and me. My only 'critique' is that I would have like for the chicken dish to be a little less on the sweet side. No prob- nothing a little extra salt on my plate couldn't fix!
