Method

  1. Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 20-25 mins until tender, adding the broccoli for the final 5 mins of cooking, then drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a deep, lidded frying pan, add the bay leaf and fry the chicken for 6 mins on each side, covering the pan for the second side. Mix the capers, olives, oregano, prunes, vinegar, sugar and wine together in a small bowl. When the chicken has cooked for 12 mins, uncover, add the garlic and cook for 1 min, stirring so it doesn’t burn, then tip in the caper mixture. Bubble for 2 mins or until reduced by half and the chicken is cooked through; remove from the heat, season and stir in the parsley. Remove the bay leaf and serve with the potatoes and broccoli.
