KOZANI CHICKEN WITH PRUNES, SAFFRON & PAPRIKA

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and sweat the onion gently until very soft, about 10 minutes. Add the paprika, cook for 2 minutes, then add the chicken thighs, about 700ml of the cooking liquid and the prunes. Season with the salt and pepper and simmer for about 20 minutes, until heated through. Check the pan with the chicken, and if it is very watery, remove the chicken, prunes and onions with a slotted spoon and keep warm while you reduce down the sauce, so that you have a small amount to spoon over each portion.
