1 head garlic, peeled and pureed

Directions
-
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.

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.
