Chicken Marbella

Chicken Marbella is a classic Mediterranean dish that became popular in the 1980s thanks to the American Silver Palate Cookbook. This dish perfectly combines sweet and savory flavors, thanks to the combination of prunes and capers. The wine and brown sugar add a special caramelized layer to the chicken during baking. This recipe is an ideal choice if you want to prepare something simple yet elegant for a special dinner or family gathering.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, capers, olives, pitted prunes, salt, and pepper.

    2

    Add the chicken thighs and toss well to coat each piece with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

    3

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the marinated chicken and all the marinade ingredients into a large baking dish.

    4

    Pour in the white wine and sprinkle brown sugar over the chicken pieces to caramelize during baking.

    5

    Bake the chicken for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and the meat is tender. Baste occasionally with the pan juices to keep it moist.

    6

    Before serving, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad.
