Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine chicken, wine, prunes, olive oil, vinegar, capers and liquid, brown sugar, oregano, parsley, olives, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer mixture to 2 resealable plastic bags; marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, the longer the better.

Step 3

Transfer chicken and marinade to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
