Chicken legs baked with rice and vegetables
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. For the vegetable mix, I took some carrots, sweet pepper, corn, green beans, and peas. But you can assemble the vegetable mix to your taste or buy a ready-made one—your choice. As for spices, do you like bold flavors? Add khmeli-suneli or Provence herbs, rosemary, or anything you like! Good luck! The finished dish can now be served.
