Steps

1

Add olive oil and sliced onion to a large skillet. Sauté until the onion is soft, then add the roast chicken drumsticks and cook to let the flavors blend.
2

Stir, then add the cherry tomatoes, previously washed and diced.
3

Stir again, then add some vegetable broth, previously made by simmering carrot, celery, onion, and salt in cold water for 30–35 minutes over low heat.
4

If the mixture gets too dry, add more broth. Add bay leaves, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
5

This is a great way to use leftovers. Serve with roasted bell peppers dressed with garlic, olive oil, and parsley.
