Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken thigh pieces
  • 1/2 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Coarse salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 12 pitted green olives
  • 6 capers
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 cup pitted prunes
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Italian parsley, for garnish
  • Fresh coriander, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Marinate: In a large bowl, combine chicken thigh pieces, minced garlic, dried oregano, pepper, coarse salt, red wine vinegar, olive oil, pitted prunes, apricots (if using), green olives, capers, bay leaves, brown sugar, and white wine. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.

  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Arrange Chicken: Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in a large, shallow baking pan. Spoon the marinade over the chicken evenly, ensuring each piece is well-covered.

  4. Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, basting frequently with the pan juices. The chicken is done when the thigh pieces, pricked with a fork at their thickest, yield clear yellow juice instead of pink.

  5. Serve: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked chicken, prunes, olives, and capers to a serving platter. Moisten with a few spoonfuls of the pan juices and sprinkle generously with chopped Italian parsley or fresh coriander. Serve hot, passing the remaining pan juices in a sauceboat.

  6. Serve Cold: To serve Chicken Marbella cold, allow it to cool to room temperature in the cooking juices before transferring to a serving platter. If refrigerated, let it return to room temperature before serving. Spoon some of the reserved juices over the chicken for added flavor.

Tips:

  • For best results, marinate the chicken overnight to allow the flavors to fully develop.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking pan to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • Serve with cous-cous and a fresh green salad for a complete meal experience.

Indulge in the exquisite flavors of Chicken Marbella, a dish that will surely impress your family and friends with its rich taste and aroma. Enjoy this classic recipe that has been perfected over the years for a truly memorable dining experience! 🍗🌿
