Chicken Mirabella

My cousin made this for us the very first time and when she told us what was in it we were very hesitant to eat it. This Chicken Mirabella is a sweet and savory chicken dish that has olives AND prunes. Trust me, I know this sounds weird. But the flavors of this dish are one that you will not soon forget. It is perfect all on its own and even better with some crispy oven roasted potatoes. Here is what you will need to make the Chicken Mirabella:

Ingredients

• 3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, I cut mine into smaller, thinner pieces.
• 1/2 C of Marinated Artichokes
• 1 C of Pitted Olives, I used Green and Greek
• 2 Cloves of Garlic Minced
• 1/2 C of White Wine
• 1/4 C of Olive Oil
• 1/3 C of Apple Cider Vinegar
• 8 Pitted Prunes
• 2 T of Dried Italian Seasoning
• 1/4 C of Brown Sugar

This dish needs to marinate overnight so if you’re planning on making it, plan one day in advance. You can get away with marinating it for 4 hours but the flavor won’t be AS strong.

Steps

• Combine wine, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, olives, artichokes, prunes, and italian seasoning in a bowl and whisk together.
• Add chicken to a ziploc bag and pour mixture over the chicken. Squish around and place in fridge overnight.
• The next day, spray a casserole dish with non stick spray, dump the chicken mixture into the casserole and sprinkle with the brown sugar.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

This is all you need to make this elegant dish. Serve with a nice side salad or some roasted veggies and you have a dinner for a special occasion. This is a great recipe for someone who doesn’t have a lot of cooking skills that will really impress your guests. I know you will be craving it just like we do!
