Chicken Marbella

I absolutely love this dish.  It is so flavorful, with a hint of sweet, and the combination of the pitted prunes and green olives add some amazing flavor.  It's a slightly altered "healthified" version inspired by the Silver Palate recipe.  So here is what I do:

Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup pitted prunes, halved
2 cups green olives
1/2 cup raw honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup capers
2 TBS apple cider vinegar
2 TBS minced fresh garlic
2 TBS dried oregano
3 bay leaves
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh minced parsley

1. Cube the chicken breast
2. In a separate bowl, mix all the other ingredients.
3. Add the chicken and let it marinade for a few hours in the fridge.
4. Place in a 13 by 9 inch baking dish
5. Cover and Bake for 40-50 minutes

What I would do with this dish to make it easier, you can prep it ahead of time.  Make your marinade and put the chicken with the marinade in a zip lock freezer bag.  You can leave it in the freezer until you are ready to use it.  I intended to do that this time, make it double and put half in the freezer for next time, but I didn't have enough capers and olives so I only made one batch to be used immediately.  This made a lot, we had enough for dinner and lunches the next day.  It goes fast because it is so yummy!
