Provencal-Style Chicken in Wine Recipe
A very interesting and unusual recipe for those who miss the bright and fragrant Mediterranean cuisine. In fact, this recipe was given to me by a friend with the name "chicken in Italian". But since I had Provencal herbs at hand, and without a good collection of herbs it would not be so delicious, I renamed the recipe, especially since I also adjusted it for myself. I highly recommend it!

- Put the chicken legs, bacon and vegetables in a saucepan with a thick bottom, add the broth and wine, put on the stove, bring to a boil, turn down the gas and simmer for about 40 minutes.
- Serve with a side dish of cereals, pasta or vegetables, pour over the resulting sauce. Bon appetit, I will be glad to hear your comments!
