Chicken Marengo
Chicken Marengo is a hearty, saucy dish that brings together chicken legs, mushrooms, and black olives in a rich tomato base. It's a straightforward braise that mostly cooks itself once everything is in the pot, leaving you with tender chicken and a deeply flavored sauce. Serve it with pasta or mashed potatoes to soak up all the juices.

Sear Chicken and Mushrooms
Heat the olive oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry them until they just start to soften, about 3-5 minutes. They should release some of their moisture and begin to brown.
Push the mushrooms to one side, then add the chicken legs to the dish. Cook them briefly on each side, just until they take on a little color, about 2 minutes per side.
