Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add the figs, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and shallot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until the chicken thighs are no longer pink in the centers and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 8 minutes. Transfer the thighs to a serving plate and keep warm.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the figs from the skillet and arrange them around the chicken on the plate.

Add the minced rosemary to the skillet, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring it to a full boil to make the reduction. Continue boiling, stirring often, until the liquid reduces to about 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the chicken and figs and garnish with rosemary sprigs. Serve warm.
