PRESSURE-COOKER CHICKEN MARBELLA
It's sweet, briny, savory and herbal, and it packs a big punch of garlic. The Mediterranean flavors make me think of dinner on the patio with family or friends. - Beth Jacobson, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

WEEKNIGHT CHICKEN MARBELLA
The chicken Marbella recipe from "The Silver Palate Cookbook" is rich and deeply flavorful, but time-consuming. It also requires overnight marinating, which doesn't suit last-minute cravings or weeknight grocery runs. This no-marinade-needed Marbella gets the job done - and well - in under an hour. Chicken thighs are seared hard until deep golden brown to render the fat, which also helps amp up the chicken flavor. This version is also significantly less sweet than the original, but if you like your brown sugar, use 1/3 cup instead. The reduced pan sauce is easy to love, so be sure to serve with a loaf of crusty bread to mop it all up.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high until shimmering and tiny wisps of smoke are visible, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, skin-side down, cover and cook until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. (Covering the chicken speeds up the cook time and prevents the oil from splattering all over your stovetop.) Flip chicken, cover again and cook until golden on second side, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Arrange prunes, olives, capers and brine, bay leaves and oregano in between chicken pieces. Sprinkle with brown sugar, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; pour wine and vinegar over top and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to a serving platter and return pan to high heat. Cook sauce, swirling occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Spoon pan sauce over chicken and serve.
CHICKEN MARBELLA, UPDATED
Steps:
- Combine the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the marinade. (You can also place the chicken and marinade in a 2-gallon plastic storage bag and squeeze out the air to make sure the chicken is fully covered with the marinade.) Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally to be sure the marinade is getting into all of the chicken pieces.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken, skin side up, along with the marinade in one layer in a large (15-by-18-inch) roasting pan, sprinkle with the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, and pour the wine around (not over!) the chicken. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken is 145 degrees F. Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Transfer the chicken, prunes, and olives to a serving platter, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot with the pan juices.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart multicooker set to the high "Saute" setting. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add chicken to pot and cook until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Remove all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot.
- Add onions and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized and slightly softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 1/2 cup vinegar and cook, scraping up any browned bit from bottom of pot, until vinegar evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup vinegar, broth, thyme, bay leaf, prunes, and olives. Return chicken to pot. Secure lid of multicooker.
- Cook on high "Pressure Cook" setting for 10 minutes. Once time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally. Carefully remove lid. Discard bay leaf. A thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken (near but not touching bones) should read 165 degrees, and onions should be tender. Transfer chicken to a plate. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions, garlic, prunes, and olives from liquid; transfer to plate. Whisk butter into liquid in pot; adjust seasoning as desired. Serve chicken mixture over polenta or mashed potatoes, with sauce spooned over top.
