Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 large red onions, halved, then sliced lengthwise
  • 20 pitted prunes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place the chicken thighs and water into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Skim off any foam that floats to the surface.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Stir in the onions, and cook covered until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Do not let the onions brown. Add the chicken to the onions along with 3 cups of the cooking liquid. Stir in the prunes, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Return to a simmer, cover, and cook until the prunes are tender and the flavors have combined, 15 to 25 minutes.
