I've made this since Silver Palate was published and it's still a favorite with my family. Don't worry, no one will ever know there's prunes in it unless you tell them!~

I LOVE this recipe and the Silver Palate! It is v. easy and so great to make ahead. We like you use bone-in chx breasts or thighs to ensure juicy meat. The combo might sound weird, but the caramelized prunes, olives, and chicken are simply scrumptious. Thanks so much for posting!

My way of rating recipes 1 Star - Did not like it, and possibly not edible, will not be making again, unless I specify the chance. 2 Star - It was ok, but I will probly not make again, unless I specify the chance. 3 Star - This was good, not bad, but not great, and will probly be made again when I have nothing else to make. 4 Star - This was great, and will be made again. 5 Star - AMAZING dish. Will most definitely be made again. <a href=http://www.amazingcounters.com><img border=0 src=http://c7.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1512901&c=4539016 alt=Free Web Counters></a><a href=http://www.flowerdeliverydeals.com>Cheap Flowers</a>
