Recipe by Elanas Pantry

Chicken Marbella is a classic dish that some say is the finest to ever come out of The Silver Palate Cookbook. To make it a bit easier, I decided to adapt the recipe, reducing the marinating time and roasting a whole chicken instead of chicken parts. This festive dish would be great for the Passover Seder with its complex blend of flavors. In fact, this is what I'm going to be serving to our guests. Along with some Gluten Free Matzoh Ball Soup, of course Here's the full post: http://www.elanaspantry.com/roasted-chicken-with-olives-and-prunes/
