Paleo Chicken Marbella
This is a remake of Chicken Marbella originally from the Silver Palate cookbook and featured in Epicurious. The original recipe calls for a whole cup of brown sugar and uses prunes. It’s not that hard to take classic recipes and remake them to fit the way I eat. This requires a little planning ahead of time because the chicken needs to marinate for several hours (or all day) in the fridge before cooking.

This looks delicious! I can’t wait to give it a try. I may add some grilled radicchio (as any time I can add a superfood to a recipe for my family I try to do so) but otherwise leave the recipe exactly as is. Thanks for sharing this!
