The only thing she does different is adds roasted pine nuts. She buys the pine nuts at the store, roasts them in the oven and throws them in with the sauce before baking. I LOVE it...

This actually looks easier than Rachel's version (which uses raisins instead of prunes, pimientos instead of capers and toasted slivered almonds as a garnish). Here, however, there's no braising and that's always a time-saving plus. Will try Chicken Marbella and hopefully it will not only be delicious, but will win friends and influence people (as reviewers often seem to claim ;-) I’ve heard somewhere that Rachel Ray (sort of) ripped this recipe off with her Chicken for Almodovar, which I like very much.

I saw that couscous was a nice pairing...after eating it, thought it might be nice with polenta as well. With the marvelous group of flavors, something bland works best. I will be serving leftovers tonight and will serve green bean almondine for the vegetable. Any more ideas out there?

She is now over 60 and I've likely prepared this dish 60 times. EVERYONE loves it - children, adults, foodies, everyone. I usually make it with boneless skinless breasts. And here's a tip. I usually make about 4 pans of it. Marinate it overnight and then cook whatever we're gonna eat that evening and bag the rest in freezer bags - throw in the brown sugar and wine and freeze it UNCOOKED. I did this the first time because I'm not much of a drinker and didn't want to waste so much wine. It works beautifully. It's the perfect dish to take to people - sick people, busy people, at a death, a picnic, a pot luck, etc. etc. It travels well. I seldom make the same dish again and again - there are so many great recipes, I keep going for new ones. With the exception of this - which I've made again and again. Thank you Sheila... You were a gift to the foodies of the world! I first made Chicken Marbella for my friend Celeste’s 40th birthday dinner party. She is now over 60 and I’ve likely prepared this dish 60 times.

I've only recently been turned on to this cookbook. I've eyed this very recipe many times. It looks delicious. What sad news. I’ve only recently been turned on to this cookbook.
