Chicken Mirabella

Deliciously flavorful Chicken Mirabella is sweet and savory, with prunes, capers, and green olives, it is one of the best things I have ever eaten. Seriously, a total favorite, and super easy to make too!

Chicken is one of our family favorites. I love how delicious and versatile chicken is, and how inexpensive it is too. I am obsessed with this Chicken Mirabella recipe. It is just loaded with so much flavor, it isn’t even funny. It also satisfies my olive cravings when I can’t justify having olive tapenade and bread for dinner with a glass of wine. I girl can dream though. One of my favorite side to pair with this chicken dish is Tortellini Pasta Salad. It’s the perfect Mediterranean fare!

I tend to love the sweeter side of foods. But my husband, while sporting a huge sweet tooth for desserts, like his meats to be more savory. This chicken is the perfect compromise for us. It offers a nice sweetness which I love, that is achieved through the prunes and brown sugar. But there is also a savory brininess from the vinegar, capers, and green olives. It is seriously such an awesome combo of flavors.

I know my kids are always a little skeptical of the “stuff” in the pan and will often pick it off, which is fine by me because it means more for me. Those are the best bits. Just like in this awesome Greek Chicken or this equally delicious Italian Chicken,

For this recipe, you start by browning your chicken in a skillet, then remove it and make the sauce. Bring the sauce up to a boil, add the chicken back in, and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees.  Then savor and enjoy!
