Chicken Amalfi - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    4 medium chicken legs, separated into thighs and drumsticks, skin removed (2.25 lb)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 medium onion, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup olive, pitted and coarsely chopped
    3 medium plum tomatoes, diced
    3 tablespoons capers, drained and chopped
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over med.-high heat until very hot. Add chicken pieces and salt and cook until chicken is golden brown on all sides, transferring chicken to a plate as it browns. (I use a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil.).
    Add onion to skillet and cook until golden, stirring frequently.
    Stir in olives, tomatoes, capers, chicken broth, rosemary, lemon juice, and 1/3 cup water.
    Return chicken to skillet and bring to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Spoon olive mixture over chicken and stir occasionally while chicken is cooking. Chicken is done when juices run clear when pieces are pierces with a knife.
    To serve, arrange chicken on a platter, spoon olive mixture over chicken, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
