It has stood the test of time for good reason- tender chicken studded with salty olives, briney capers and sweet dried fruit - it is the perfect sweet and savoury meal. This low effort, high reward dish is just the thing for a special weeknight dinner or fuss-free weekend entertaining. A side of mixed greens adds diversity. Serve it with rice, noodles or your favourite starchy roasted vegetable to round it out into a main meal.



Chicken Marbella is traditionally made with a full roast chicken. In this shortcut version we use a chicken paillard, a butterflied and then flattened chicken breast that cooks quickly on the hob. The only step that takes a while or might be a little time-consuming is flattening the meat - apart from that you get all the flavour in a fraction of the time.
