  • 1 head garlic, peeled and pureed

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, mix together vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, oregano, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, bay leaves, and olives. Add chicken breasts and stir to coat. Cover and transfer to refrigerator; let marinate overnight.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover and sprinkle with brown sugar. Pour wine over chicken breasts and cover with parchment paper-lined foil. Transfer to oven and bake for 1 hour.

  3. Meanwhile, heat margarine and remaining tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until translucent. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts; remove from heat and set aside.
