I have made this recipe for years, and loved it from the first time I made it. It is remarkably quick and flavorful. The sauce is rich and caramelized and the chicken is very tender. Don't even consider using chicken breasts, you really need the chicken thighs for this to turn out properly. It's one of the few recipes that I always make verbatim without any substitutions. That being said, I think it could also be good using apricots or peaches instead of the plums.
