An Easy Chicken Marbella Recipe Great for a Party!

Chicken Marbella is a great dish for entertaining.
The original recipe calls for the chicken pieces to be marinated all night.
We found that marinating for 2 to 3 hours worked fine.
About the Silver Palate Cookbook
What is the Silver Palate Cookbook?
The Silver Palate Cookbook showed people how to entertain easily at home in a manner that was very contemporary.
The dishes were approachable and doable for regular home cooks since they didn’t take all day to cook.
Forty years later, it is still a well-loved classic.
Just like the Chicken Marbella dish that was all the rage at dinner parties during the 1980s.
But a light salad is also a lovely accompaniment for Chicken Marbella.
