Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 Chicken breast halves (boned and skinned)
¾ cup Dried prunes
½ cup Dried apricots
1 tablespoon Olive oil
3 tablespoons White vinegar
½ cup Dry vermouth
2 Garlic cloves; minced
1½ tablespoon Brown sugar
1 tablespoon Oregano
½ teaspoon Salt
2 cups Sweet potatoes; peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Directions

Place the chicken breasts in a medium bowl or casserole. Combine the prunes, apricots, olive oil, vinegar, vermouth, garlic, brown sugar, oregano, and salt. Pour over the chicken. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.

When you are ready to bake the chicken, place the sweet potato cubes in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil gently for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Remove the chicken from the marinade. Arrange the pieces in a shallow baking pan. Spread the marinade over the chicken, cover with the sweet potatoes, and bake covered at 350 degrees F. for 30-45 minutes, until the chicken and sweet potatoes are fully cooked.
