Chicken Legs with Rice and Peppers

Mar 29, 2015 · 37 Comments

A comforting meal, that is easy to prepare. Perfect for weeknights or weekends.

Living the Gourmet: Chicken Legs with Rice and Peppers

The days are much longer now giving much more time to the chores to be completed and the tasks on the schedule of the day. Though with the longer days there seems to be less time for rest and the lingering time at the table. I miss this time and long for the days when the chairs stay full longer and the smiles and conversation last long after the coffee has been served.

Preparing this dish did not take long and it is the simplest of fare. I enjoyed it very much to linger and talk and revel the time as it seemed to captivatingly stand still for me; to take in the moments that are precious and priceless; a simple meal.

    This looks beautiful. I rarely cook chicken but when I do, I prefer chicken thighs, as they are the juiciest and tastiest part of the bird. Into my recipe box this goes:
