Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.
  2. 2Make the olive paste. Combine the olives, prunes, olive oil, wine, garlic, capers, oregano, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a coarse paste forms, about 30 seconds.
  3. 3Make the chicken. Arrange the chicken on a rimmed sheet pan and coat each piece with the olive paste, fully covering on all sides. Pour the chicken stock and white wine onto the sheet pan around the chicken. Drop the olives, prunes, and capers into the liquid. Sprinkle the chicken with the brown sugar and salt.
  4. 4Bake for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken, olives, capers, and prunes to a serving platter. Sprinkle the parsley over the top.
  5. 5Place a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Carefully pour the sheet pan drippings and solids into the saucepan. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the butter until fully incorporated. Transfer to a small serving bowl.
  6. 6Serve the chicken family-style with the sauce alongside.
