Your rating: None Average: 4.1 (26 votes)

Prunes, olives and capers jazz up chicken breasts in a simple dinner that's elegant enough to serve when company's coming. Serve this saucy dish over brown basmati rice.


READER'S COMMENT:
"We have been making this recipe ever since we saw it in the 1996 Eating Well. It is great for a casual dinner party and every bit as good as the original Silver Palate recipe, which had loads of fat. And no one notices the prunes! "
