Recipe Notes
On the one hand this recipe is not fussy and not fancy. However, it is amazingly complex with a great pairing of flavors.
The combination of sweet prunes, salty olives, brined capers, savory chicken and vinegar is the perfect blend of ingredients. Great recipes are about balance and this is a perfect balance of flavors. Served over nutty brown rice and you have a great meal and even better leftovers.
The crazy thing is that you think this recipe is some sort of exotic Mediterranean dish but it is actually then invention of Sheila Lukins of the Silver Palate catering company in New York City. That recipe is a bit complex with overnight marination and this one is a bit more simple version. Even though this didn’t originate in the Mediterranean, the dish brings you all of the great ways to get points on your Med Diet score — less meat, veggies, fruit and great quality fats.
