Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
4 - chicken legs ( separate the leg and thigh making 8 pieces)
3 cup(s) chicken stock
1 cup(s) quartered mushrooms
1 cup(s) chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup(s) chopped onions
1/4 cup(s) minced garlic ( this sounds like too much but trust me)
1/4 cup(s) white wine
1/4 cup(s) fresh chopped herbs (parsley, thyme, chives, rosemary and basil work beautifully)
- salt and fresh ground black pepper tp taste

Steps:

Heat a Dutch Oven to Medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sear it in the olive oil until well browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add the onions, mushrooms and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by half. Place all of the remaining ingredients in the pot including the chicken and bring to a simmer.
Cover and place in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes. Strain out the liquid and reduce the liquid by half, season with salt and pepper, and thicken if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite vegetables and starch. If you would prefer a one-pot meal try adding 1 cup of rice to the above recipe before you bring it to a simmer.
