Braised Chicken Legs With Olives And Tomatoes

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Bursting with flavor and easy to make. Great with chicken but I bet ts equally good with pork chops and chuck roast. I even think with a few additions and changes you could make a great pizza sauce. However I can not wait to make the chicken again. Merry Christmas 2011.
