This chicken is oh, so good! I like to use dark meat (legs prefferably, or thighs), but I'm sure that it would be good with leaner cuts if chicken as well.

Time 30m

Yield 6 chicken legs, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 chicken legs
2 tablespoons kosher salt (approx)
1 tablespoon black pepper (approx)
1 tablespoon garlic powder (approx)
2 tablespoons oil
3 -4 tablespoons sofrito sauce
6 manzanilla olives

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (to taste).
  • Meanwhile, heat a shallow pan over medium heat and add oil.
  • Brown chicken in pan on both sides.
  • Once chicken is browned, add in sofrito and turn chicken to coat all sides in the sauce. Reduce heat to a medium-low setting.
  • With the side of a knife, crush olives and put into pan with chicken. Cook for about 15 minutes, turning chicken every few minutes until it is done.
  • This is best served with white rice as you will have some of the sofrito mixture left over to put over your rice. YUM-O!
