1. Place a heavy pan over a high heat and drop in the onion with the oil. Stir well and cook for 2 mins, then add garlic.
2. Add the chicken and cook for a few mins, turning each piece until they all have a little colour. Add the chopped apples and the prunes, stir well, pour in the wine and bring to the boil.
3. Simmer covered for 20 mins until the chicken is tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with some mashed potato.

  this is delicious and very simple. not what i'd call spanish -- more country french perhaps?! but either way, this is so easy and very economical. it's become a repeat recipe for me. may i suggest adding some sprigs of fresh thyme before putting the lid on for the final bubble? i also like it served with brown rice.
