From the Test Kitchen

Chefs, we’re celebrating the aromatic flavors of Greek cooking with tonight’s dish.Buttery Castelvetrano olives, sweet prunes and fresh oregano form the base of a bright sauce perfect for our pan-seared chicken (and simple roasted potatoes on the side). A salad of baby greens topped off with crunchy almonds rounds it all out with peppery notes. (Depending on what's best near you, your baby greens may be arugula or kale.)

Add the sugar, verjus, vinegar and ¼ cup of water (be careful, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
