Easy Chicken Recipe With Prunes

Easy chicken recipe with a dash of wine. This chicken stew recipe is a traditional mountain dish from the beautiful Montseny natural park, not far away from Barcelona.

The Montseny region is where Santi Santamaria -the first Catalan chef to be awarded three stars by the Michelin guide- opened his first restaurant when he was a completely unknown self-taught chef.

This recipe includes vi ranci, which is a wine left to mature many years under very specific conditions. It is used often in Catalan cuisine, but if you don't find it, you can replace it with white wine.
