Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3-lb) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup water
1/2 lb plum tomatoes (about 3), seeded and chopped
1 (3- to 4-inch) cinnamon stick
5 1/2 oz pitted prunes (16 to 18)
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet or a wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown chicken in 2 batches, turning with tongs, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken as browned to a plate.
  • Return chicken, skin sides up, to skillet along with any juices accumulated on plate. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add water, tomatoes, cinnamon stick, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a large pinch of pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to moderately low and cover skillet, then simmer 20 minutes.
  • Stir in prunes, vinegar, and sugar and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken with tongs to a shallow serving dish and keep warm, covered with foil. Boil pan juices, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and spoon sauce over chicken.
