CHICKEN MARBELLA, UPDATED

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup good olive oil
1/2 cup good red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups large pitted prunes, such as Sunsweet
1 cup large green olives, pitted, such as Cerignola
1/2 cup capers, including the juices (3 1/2 ounces)
6 bay leaves
1 1/2 heads of garlic, cloves separated, peeled, and minced
1/4 cup dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 (4-pound) chickens, backs removed and cut in 8 pieces
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the marinade. (You can also place the chicken and marinade in a 2-gallon plastic storage bag and squeeze out the air to make sure the chicken is fully covered with the marinade.) Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally to be sure the marinade is getting into all of the chicken pieces.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken, skin side up, along with the marinade in one layer in a large (15-by-18-inch) roasting pan, sprinkle with the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, and pour the wine around (not over!) the chicken. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken is 145 degrees F. Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Transfer the chicken, prunes, and olives to a serving platter, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot with the pan juices.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 cups pitted prunes
1/4 cup capers with a bit of brine
2 tablespoons dried oregano
20 garlic-stuffed olives
5 cloves garlic, minced or pushed through a press
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

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.

CHICKEN MARBELLA



Chicken Marbella image

The famous Chicken Marbella from the Silver Palate Cookbook. This recipe has been bringing down the house for years and I have made serious adaptations to it, fine-tuning it to suit our taste and make it a little more practical. I like to serve this with cous-cous and a big green salad.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs chicken thigh pieces, skinless and boneless, cut each piece into 4
1/2 head garlic, peeled and finely pureed (this works out to about 6-8 cloves)
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano, crumbled
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
12 pitted prunes (I cut them in half)
6 dried apricots, cut in half (optional)
1/2 cup pitted spanish green olives
1/3 cup capers, with a bit of juice
3 bay leaves
1/2 cup brown sugar (I prefer to use less - 1/4 cup is fine)
3/4 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (not in original recipe) (optional)
1/3 cup Italian parsley (cilantro) or 1/3 cup fresh coriander, finely chopped (cilantro)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine chicken quarters, garlic, oregano, pepper and coarse salt to taste, vinegar, olive oil, prunes, apricots (if using), olives, capers and juice, bay leaves, brown sugar and white wine.
  • Cover and let marinate, refrigerated, overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Arrange chicken in a single layer in a large, shallow baking pan and spoon marinade over it evenly.
  • Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, basting frequently with pan juices. Chicken is done when thigh pieces, pricked with a fork at their thickest, yield clear yellow (rather than pink) juice.
  • With a slotted spoon transfer chicken, prunes, olives and capers to a serving platter. Moisten with a few spoonfuls of pan juices and sprinkle generously with parsley or cilantro. Pass remaining pan juices in a sauceboat.
  • Note: To serve Chicken Marbella cold, cool to room temperature in cooking juices before transferring to a serving platter. If chicken has been covered and refrigerated, allow it to return to room temperature before serving. Spoon some of the reserved juices over chicken.

THE SILVER PALATE'S CHICKEN MARBELLA



The Silver Palate's Chicken Marbella image

If there's such a thing as boomer cuisine, it can be found in the pages of "The Silver Palate Cookbook" by Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso. With its chirpy tone and "Moosewood"-in-the-city illustrations, the book, published in time for Mother's Day in 1982, gave millions of home cooks who hadn't mastered the art of French cooking the courage to try sophisticated dishes like escabeche, wild mushroom soup and that new thing called pesto. This recipe, also in the book, came to The Times in a 2007 article celebrating the 25th anniversary edition. The briny-sweet combination once seemed as risky (capers! prunes!) as the East Village, but now it's considered as classic as Grand Central.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup pitted prunes
1/2 cup pitted Spanish green olives
1/2 cup capers, with a bit of juice
6 bay leaves
1 head of garlic, peeled and puréed
1/2 cup fresh oregano, chopped, or 1/4 cup dried oregano
2 teaspoons of salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 chickens, 3 1/2 to 4 pounds each, quartered
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers and juice, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan; spoon the marinade over it evenly. Pour in the wine and sprinkle the chicken with the brown sugar.
  • Bake until the thigh pieces yield clear yellow juice when pricked with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes, basting two or three times with the pan juices once the chicken begins to brown. (When basting, do not brush off the sugar. If the chicken browns too quickly, cover lightly with foil.)
  • Transfer the chicken pieces to a warm serving platter and top with the prunes, olives and capers; keep warm. Place the roasting pan over medium heat and bring the pan juices to a boil. Reduce to about 1/2 cup. Strain into a heatproof bowl, add the parsley and pour over the chicken.

WEEKNIGHT CHICKEN MARBELLA



Weeknight Chicken Marbella image

The chicken Marbella recipe from "The Silver Palate Cookbook" is rich and deeply flavorful, but time-consuming. It also requires overnight marinating, which doesn't suit last-minute cravings or weeknight grocery runs. This no-marinade-needed Marbella gets the job done - and well - in under an hour. Chicken thighs are seared hard until deep golden brown to render the fat, which also helps amp up the chicken flavor. This version is also significantly less sweet than the original, but if you like your brown sugar, use 1/3 cup instead. The reduced pan sauce is easy to love, so be sure to serve with a loaf of crusty bread to mop it all up.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pitted prunes
1/2 cup pitted Spanish green olives
1/4 cup drained capers, plus 1 tablespoon caper brine
3 fresh or dried bay leaves
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped, or 1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high until shimmering and tiny wisps of smoke are visible, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, skin-side down, cover and cook until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. (Covering the chicken speeds up the cook time and prevents the oil from splattering all over your stovetop.) Flip chicken, cover again and cook until golden on second side, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Arrange prunes, olives, capers and brine, bay leaves and oregano in between chicken pieces. Sprinkle with brown sugar, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; pour wine and vinegar over top and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a serving platter and return pan to high heat. Cook sauce, swirling occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Spoon pan sauce over chicken and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: A whole chicken is more flavorful than chicken parts, and it cooks more evenly.
  • Season the chicken well: Season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Sear the chicken: Sear the chicken in a hot skillet before roasting it. This will help to brown the skin and lock in the flavor.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roast the chicken at a high temperature (425 degrees F) for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue to roast for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Add vegetables: Add vegetables to the roasting pan with the chicken. This will help to create a flavorful sauce and make a complete meal.
  • Let the chicken rest: Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Roasted chicken with olives and prunes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the olives and prunes add a tangy and sweet flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
