I remember this Chicken Marbella as one of the first recipes my mother taught me to make just before I was leaving for college. She was not about having ramen for dinner every night and this recipe quickly spread around campus. Simple ingredients and easy to make for those nights when you’re missing home.
Chicken thighs roasted with smashed garlic, oregano, red wine vinegar, prunes, olives, capers and dry white wine. The sauce is sweet and easy and I love it!
To make Chicken Marbella, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large bowl combine 8 chicken thighs with 6 cloves of peeled and smashed garlic, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper, ¼ cup of red wine vinegar, ¼ cup of olive oil, ½ cup of pitted prunes, ½ cup of pitted green olives, ¼ cup of capers with their juices, and 3 bay leaves. Toss to combine and coat.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, for at least 1 hour to overnight, to marinate.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Transfer the marinated chicken with all the fruits and juices to a shallow baking pan and sprinkle ¼ cup of brown sugar over the chicken pieces. Pour ½ cup of dry white wine around.
Bake, uncovered, for about 50-60 minutes, basting a few times with the sauce during the cooking time, until the chicken is cooked through and is golden and roasted.
Serve hot with juice and sauce dripping all over and garnish with ¼ cup of freshly chopped parsley.
I really love this Chicken Marbella recipe because of its simplicity and full of juicy flavors. You just need to buy the ingredients, mix it all together and roast. How did yours turn out? Let us know and contact us online using our hashtag #cookmerecipes on your own pages.
