Sabato Chicken Marbella

Description 

Chicken Marbella was first created in the 1980s. The distinctive flavours of olives, capers and prunes with tender, juicy free-range chicken cooked on the bone have kept this dish a favourite for decades. Here at Sabato, we've updated the recipe for modern palates and created our own lighter version, while still retaining all the essential ingredients, tastes and textures.

This dish was awarded a silver medal at the Outstanding Food Producer Awards 2025, with judges describing it as a 'true chicken Marbella'.
