Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 100 ml olive oil
  • 100 ml vinegar
  • 175 ml white wine, according to taste
  • 4 garlic cloves, 2 are also sufficient
  • 2 tbsp marjoram
  • 250 g prunes
  • 200 g green olives, pitted
  • 80 g brown sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest period approx. 1 day; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 day 1 hour 25 minutes

Cover the chicken fillets and let them marinate overnight in the refrigerator in a marinade made from olive oil, vinegar, crushed garlic cloves, marjoram, prunes, and olives. Mix the ingredients together before pouring them over the meat. The next day, place the meat and marinade in a deep baking tray and pour in the white wine. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the meat and then bake in the oven at 125 degrees Celsius (250 degrees Fahrenheit) on the middle rack for about 70 minutes. Serve with rice or bread and a strong red wine as a side dish. Tip: I marinate in a casserole dish, so you don’t have to transfer everything. It sounds strange, but it tastes very good.
