Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup pitted prunes
  • 1/2 cup pitted, flavorful green olives
  • 1/4 cup capers, plus 1 tablespoon of the brine
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 4 large cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Into your slow cooker, stir together the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers w/brine, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, brown sugar, and wine. Nestle the chicken pieces into the pot. Cover and cook until the chicken is very tender, about 4 hours on high and 7 hours on low. If possible, turn the chicken pieces over halfway through and spoon some of the juices over everything. Transfer to a shallow bowl and scatter the parsley over the top.
