Preparation
1 Preheat oven to 350 �F.
2 Heat olive oil in a medium-sized heavy-bottom
roasting or braising pan (a large saut� pan with a
metal handle will work as well).
3 Add mushrooms to pan, and cook until golden
brown, about 3�5 minutes. Add leeks, potatoes,
celery, and pearl onions, and continue to cook until
the vegetables become soft, about 3�5 additional
minutes.
4 Add chicken broth to the pan, and bring to a boil.
Add chicken legs to the pan, cover, and place in the
heated oven for about 20 minutes or until the
chicken legs are tender when pierced with a fork (to
a minimum internal temperature of 165 �F).
5 When chicken legs are tender, remove legs from the
pan, return the pan to the stovetop, and bring the
liquid to a boil. Add herbs and lemon juice.
6 In a bowl, mix the cornstarch with the sour cream,
and add to the pan. Bring back to a boil and then
remove from the heat.
7 Season with salt and pepper, and pour 1 cup of
vegetables and sauce over chicken.
