Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Brush the chicken with the mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
- In an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, brown the chicken in the oil. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Brown the shallots in the same skillet. Add oil if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Add the prunes and garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the wine.
