1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

   In an ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil and brown the chicken pieces on all sides.

   Remove the chicken from pan and set aside.

7. 7

   Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and cook in the oven until tender and browned, about 40 to 45 minutes.

   Remove and serve with Spanish rice or Mexican rice and other sides of your choosing.
