Ingredients
4 chicken breasts, or more to taste, pounded thin and cut in half
1 cup white wine, any kind
1 cup pitted prunes
½ cup olive oil
½ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup capers, with extra liquid added
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup dried oregano
¼ cup dried parsley
12 Spanish olives, cut in half
10 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
6 bay leaves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Combine chicken, wine, prunes, olive oil, vinegar, capers and liquid, brown sugar, oregano, parsley, olives, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Transfer into 2 resealable plastic bags; marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, the longer the better.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Pour chicken and marinade into a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
