Chicken Marbella

A friend recently shared this recipe with me and it was so easy and delicious I thought I'd pass it along. All I did was throw it in the crockpot, turn it on and 5 hours later it was done. Can't beat that!

Chicken Marbella

4 - 6 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup chopped pitted prunes
1/4 cup chopped stuffed green olives (I used the garlic stuffed and then omitted the garlic above)
2 tablespoons capers
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white wine
10 skinless chicken thighs

Garnish: Chicken with parsley or fresh cilantro, well chopped

1. In a large bowl, stir together garlic, oregano, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers, salt and pepper, bay leaf, brown sugar and wine. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat. Cover and let marinate, refrigerated, overnight.

2. Place the chicken in slow cooker, then pour marinade over it. Set to high heat and cook for about 5 to 6 hours, or until chicken is tender.

3. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and spoon sauce over it. Sprinkle with parsley or cilantro.
