Mediterranean-Style Chicken

Ingredients:
15 small garlic cloves, peeled ( I use cloves from a jar ...8 tsp)
2 T dried oregano
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 olive oil
1 leek white and light green part cut up
1/2 dried whole pitted apricots
3/4 dried whole pitted plums
1/2 cup green olives
1/2 pitted kalamata olives
1/3 cup capers with some liquid
salt and pepper
2 to 3 pd chicken ( I use boneless skinless chicken breast and / or thighs)
2 T brown sugar
3/4 cup red wine

Directions:
Make the marinade in a bowl, stir together garlic, oregano, salt and pepper,vinegar, oil, leek, apricots, plums, olives and capers until blended. Place the chicken in a lock top plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. I like to do it the night before.

Preheat oven to 425. Place the chicken in baking pan, arrange the marinade around the chicken. In a small bowl, dissolve the brown sugar in the wine and pour over the chicken. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken in nicely browned.
