Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 8 chicken legs (6 to 8 ounces each), split and skin removed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved 4 strips orange zest (1/2 by 2 inches) Coarse salt

Directions

Place flour on a plate. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess.

In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, saute; chicken, turning as each side browns, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a platter.

Add remaining tablespoon oil to pot. Cook onion and garlic, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Add broth, tomato paste, olives, and orange zest; season with salt. Bring to a boil.

Return chicken to pot. Cover; simmer, turning chicken once or twice, until tender but not falling off the bone, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/04/2012   This was very easy and mighty tasty. We totally loved the curry sauce it made, and the orange zest was a lovely addition. This will feed a crowd if doubled. I added a little bit of the kalamata juice instead of salt.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/27/2010   This was super easy and tasty! Unfortunately I had to substitute black olives, but I'll definitely make this again and try with the Kalamata.
