This elegant chicken in Riesling with prunes and cabbage is a sophisticated take on a classic French-style braise. Combining the crisp acidity of Alsatian wine with the deep sweetness of pitted prunes, this dairy-free dish offers a complex depth of flavour that is both comforting and refined. The whole chicken is roasted alongside aromatic herbs and hearty winter vegetables, allowing the juices to meld into a rich, savoury sauce that perfectly coats the tender cabbage wedges.

Ideal for a Sunday lunch or an impressive dinner party, this one-pot casserole is as practical as it is delicious. By sealing the dish with foil before roasting, you ensure the meat remains incredibly succulent while the garlic cloves soften into sweet, buttery morsels. Serve this wholesome meal in shallow bowls to capture every drop of the golden, wine-infused broth.
