Recipe #7: Chicken Marbella

This recipe actually came from a Woman's Day cookbook.  Each serving has less than 300 calories...not too shabby.  Don't be weirded out by the odd combination of ingredients.  They combine for a sweet and savory Mediterranean dish that totally reminds me of the fabulous food we had in Greece.

INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup white wine
2 tbs. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
3 tbs. red wine vinegar
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tbs. capers
1/2 cup prunes
1/3 cup pitted green olives
4 chicken breasts
White or brown rice
Parsley

Serves 4

DIRECTIONS:
Whisk together first 4 ingredients in crock pot.  Add garlic, capers, prunes, and olives; mix. Add chicken to crock pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours.  Serve with cooked rice mixed with parsley.

TIP: If the prunes aren't your thing, try substituting dried apricots or nectarines.

Thanks for joining me for this week of crock pot recipes.  Hopefully you've found a few that work well for you and your family.
