Chicken Marbella

Chicken Marbella

Click above for link to original recipe. 

A few weeks ago a friend mentioned this recipe on Facebook and absolutely raved about it. I read the comments on the original recipe and found that nearly everyone who tried it agreed. David isn't fond of capers and Chris isn't a big fan of olives but they are good sports and were willing to give it a try. They both really liked it, as did I. It is delicious, super easy and yet looks a bit fancy. Give it a try. 

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup pimento stuffed olives
  • 5 ounces of pitted prunes
  • 1.5 ounces capers
  • 2 Tablespoons dried oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
Directions:

Combine ingredients in mixing bowl and stir gently to combine. Place 3 or 4 chicken breasts in baking dish and pour mixture over. Bake at 350 degrees 30-45 minutes until chicken is done. Serve over couscous, rice, orzo or other pasta.
