    Chicken Marbella

    October 8, 2018 /

    You can not begin to imagine the smell in this house right now, or the taste of this Chicken Marbella recipe, that is, unless you’ve tried it for yourself. 

    This recipe is SO easy and delicious, especially for days when you plan to entertain guests and want to streamline the cooking process as much as possible. Being able to enjoy the company

    of your guests without having to stand over a stove all evening is a gift, which, admittedly, I am guilty of. 

    There are several ways to prepare this dish- stovetop, oven, slow cooker, etc.

    What remains the same are the handful of key ingredients- Capers, Prunes, Spanish Green Olives, Garlic, White Wine, Oregano, Brown Sugar, and of course- Chicken!

    The type of chicken you prefer for this recipe and cooking method is up to you, but I personally prefer boneless skinless breast meat, which I cook in a Crock Pot for about 6 hours until the chicken becomes tender and flavors have penetrated through, leaving a flavorful finished product.
