Braised Chicken

3 chicken legs
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 bell peppers, sliced into strips
1 large onion, sliced
3 tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/8 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika powder
1 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp oil

Combine garlic, oil, paprika, curry powder, cinnamon and salt; whisk until you have a fragrant marinade.

Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Heat 1-2 Tbsp oil in a skillet and quickly brown the chicken legs. Transfer them to an oven dish. Brush them with half of the marinade. Spread peppers, onions and tomatoes in the pan, around, on top of, and underneath chicken. Lightly dab the vegetables with the other half of the marinade. Pour in chicken broth, but don't cover chicken.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Halfway through, remove from oven, flip vegetables, and spoon sauce over chicken. Return to oven until cooked through.

NOTES
From Pioneer Woman.
Unexpectedly delicious. Way, way better than I thought it could be.
I used frozen peppers/onions and canned tomatoes.
My kids don't do peppers and onions, but they loved the chicken.
