Steps:
- Combine the oil, vinegar, prunes, capers, oregano, olives, garlic, bay leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large shallow baking dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the marinade to a plate. Pour the marinade into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the chicken on top, skin-side up. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the chicken breasts and pour the white wine around them.
- Bake, basting three or four times with the pan juices, until the chicken is crispy on top and cooked through, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken, prunes, olives and capers to a serving platter. Moisten with a few spoonfuls of the pan juices and sprinkle generously with the parsley. Pour the remaining pan juices into a sauceboat and pass with the chicken.
CHICKEN AND APPLE STUFFING CASSEROLE
Is it a sweet and savory bread pudding? Or, is it a casserole? Perhaps it is a chicken and stuffing skillet--you decide. At any rate, this dish only needs a 12-inch nonstick, oven-proof skillet, a spoon, a knife, a cutting board, a whisk, and some measuring cups. It comes together fairly quickly, too!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk together half-and-half, egg, and sage in a bowl.
- Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until onion begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and then stir in stuffing mix. Add chopped apples, dried cherries, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans, then remove from heat. Stir in half-and-half mixture and gently even out the contents of the skillet.
- Season chicken cutlets with paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place on top of the stuffing mixture and press down into the skillet contents until the tops of the chicken are even with the other ingredients. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chopped pecans over the top and lightly spray chicken with cooking spray.
- Place skillet in the preheated oven and bake until chicken juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve warm.

CHICKEN APPLE CASSEROLE
This recipe was inspired one evening when concocting homemade baby food for my son. After sampling a chicken and apple blend- I thought why haven't I ever eaten these two together before? This recipe adds ginger for a zesty compliment to the sweetness of the apples, along with a medley of other 'sweet' veggies. Low fat, healthy and delicious.

Tips:
- For a sweeter casserole, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. For a tarter casserole, use tarter apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
- If you don't have dried prunes, you can substitute dried cherries or cranberries.
- You can add a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the casserole for a nutty flavor.
- If you don't have a large casserole dish, you can divide the mixture between two smaller dishes.
- Be sure to cover the casserole dish tightly with foil before baking. This will help to keep the casserole moist and prevent the apples from drying out.
- Let the casserole cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.

The combination of sweet apples, tart prunes, and savory chicken makes for a flavorful and satisfying casserole. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
