yeah pretty much that ^ although there are a lot of chicken pieces ( 7 people 2-3 pieces each ) though so may just season and roast them in the oven rather than pan fry them to get the skins all crispy and seared, then chuck them in the sauce to cook for an hour or two . the prunes were part of mums recipe so i'll stick with them. i have done a version with the stew veggies like parsnip carrots suede all in cider in the past which was pretty delicious. also have done a version with white wine as the sauce liquid also pretty nice.
maybe get mum to bring round a few of this years cox's orange pippin apples from her tree and chuck some slices in for an addition layer of appley goodness. the apple brandy sounds good but extravagant ! saying that some of the local cider makers are producing their own calvados / brandy type spirits from their ciders so might grab a bottle or two for xmas. haven't ever tried the locally produced ones so would be good to get a sample before glugging it into the sauce.
