Quick Braised Chicken with Rosemary and Potatoes

Name: Quick Braised Chicken with Rosemary and Potatoes
Yield: serves 4 to 6
Ingredients: 2 teaspoons salt, plus additional for seasoning; 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary; 3 pounds chicken legs, cut into thighs and drumsticks (or just use one or the other); 1 pound small new red potatoes, cut into eighths

Drumsticks are always our favorite, but Mama always likes the thighs, so we make it so that everyone can get what they want. Rosemary really complements the new red potatoes and gives them a hearty garden flavor, and using dark meat keeps the dish juicy. We love this with a light side salad like our crunchy iceberg lettuce salad with blue cheese.
