Instructions: Trim chicken and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the chicken until browned all over. Transfer to a casserole.

Add the onions to the oil in the pan and fry gently until soft; then drain off any excess oil from the pan.

Drain the plums and make up the juices to 1 1/4 cups with stock or water. Add to the pan and bring to a boil. Add lemon rind, juice and allspice to the sauce.

Adjust seasoning and pour over the chicken.

Arrange the plums over and around the chicken. Cover the casserole and cook

In a moderate oven at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. Or microwave for 6 minutes on high

Serving Ideas: Serve on top of rice or with your favorite pasta and some fresh asparagus.

NOTE: This is a great dish using canned plums, you can of course use fresh if available, heat in a heavy pan on the stove until heated throughout, or in the microwave on med-high for 5-8 minutes.
