Ingredients

Marinade:

4 chicken breast, or (6-8) chicken thighs
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
6 garlic cloves, minced
⅓ cup olive oil
⅓ cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup capers and their brine (about 3 tablespoons)
1 cup mixed green and black olives, pitted and halved. I used Castelvetrano Olives as they are milder.

Add next day:

1 cup prunes, cut in half
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 cup white wine
3 bay leaves
sprigs of fresh thyme, oregano, and parsley

Instructions

Marinade (overnight)
Add your chicken to an oven-proof dish and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Pour the olive oil, red wine vinegar, capers with their fluid, olives, and fresh herbs. Mix, then cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
If time-pressured, then add all ingredients to the pan, including the sugar and wine. Cover and marinate for at least 4 hours.
Preheat Oven to 350 °F (180 °C)
Overnight Version: To the pan add the brown sugar and the white wine. Mix.
Bake the chicken (covered with foil) at the middle rack for about 30 minutes. Turn chicken halfway through and keep submerged in the liquid. Remove the foil and continue to cook for another 10 minutes or a little more depending on the thickness of the chicken.
Serve this dish with mashed potatoes, basmati rice, couscous, or crusty warm bread.
