Chicken Marbella

by admin

This is a delicious recipe. Although it must MARINATE OVERNIGHT, it cooks in the Crockpot while you’re at work! Don’t leave out the prunes – they make it super yummy!

2-6 lbs. chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless, skinless)
1 head of garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup dried oregano
Sea salt
Fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup pitted prunes
1/2 cup pitted Spanish green olives
1/2 cup capers with a bit of juice
6 bay leaves
1/2 cup brown sugar (optional)
1 cup white wine
1/4 cup Italian parsley or cilantro, finely chopped (added when serving)

  • Add chicken to bowl and stir/mix to cover.
