Chicken Marbella – Silver Palate Cookbook, This is from the Silver Palate Cookbook, and I love their food. I have seen this recipe for years and finally decided to try it and I am so glad I did! Prunes, capers and olives just didn’t sound good, but I was SO wrong! I usually use legs and thighs, marinate them for about 6 hours in a plastic zip-top bag, and turn them every couple of hours. Only change I made was using 2 heads of roasted garlic instead of the 1 head of raw garlic. that’s HEAD, not clove. I always use skin on, they brown and caramelize to a rich deep color. I urge you to try this…be brave and do it, you will be pleasantly suprised! : This makes a large amount, you can easily halve this recipe. Prep time does not include marinating time. Hope you enjoy! Correction…For the large quantity…it IS 4 2 1/2 lbs.chicken, sorry for ommision of the 4 in the original post. But Zaar won’t let me put 4 chickens in the recipe., I still have my Silver Palate cookbook that I bought over 20 years ago. It is marked up with changes I have made in some recipes. I changed this recipe by using a pork loin roast! You talk about yum? I invited friends in my church who had made it with chicken and it is delicious made that that way! Presentation on a long platter, deep enough to hold all the marinade/sauce. I hate prunes BUT in the sauce it adds just enough sweetness to balance the saltyness of the spanish olives and the Capers. When I want to impress new guests, this is my signature recipe. Wonderful as leftovers. Serve with a parmesan cheese Risotto cooked slowly with chicken broth. You can add mushrooms, small shrimp or some small vegetables., Maple syrup is nice reduced amount instead of the sugar
