The Best Braised Chicken With Dried Plums

1. 1

   In a heavy pot or skillet (with a lid), heat oil over medium-high.

2. 2

   Season chicken with salt & pepper. Cook in 2 batches until browned, 8-9 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   To pot, add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion begins to brown, 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat if necessary.

4. 4

   Add flour, cook, stirring, 1 minute.

5. 5

   Add wine and chicken along with any accumulated juices.

6. 6

   Add bay leaves (if using).

7. 7

   Cover and cook until chicken is opaque throughout, 8-10 minutes (or thirty if your pan sucks too!). Stir in prunes.

8. 8

   If you prefer the sauce to be less watery, remove lid, and continue to cook on medium heat until the sauce reduces to the desired consistency.

9. 9

   Remove bay leaves, and serve with polenta or mashed potatoes to catch the savory sauce.
