OKAY I HAVE:

- two chicken legs
- one zucchini
- bits of eggplants left from yesterday
- shallots and garlic aplenty
- tomato sauce if needed
- quinoa, potatoes, rice, etc. also if needed

I'm not sure how to cook it, and google hasn't been helpful with finding easy enough and appealing enough recipes with those stuff. So.

Suggestions anyone?

Yep, that would be in a pan. What I do is marinate them in olive oil + spices (majoram, rosemary and sweet paprika) for an hour or so, taking care that all of the leg is covered in oil. Then I put them into a well-heated pan (almost on maximum heat) with possibly a little additional oil (depends on how much your pan sticks). I leave them on high heat for a couple of minutes, turning them until all the leg surface is fried, then lower the heat to medium-low (on my induction cooker, that's 4 out of 9), cover the pan and fry for 20 minutes or so, turning them if it looks one side is becoming too brown.

After 20 minutes or so they should be cooked all through (I'll confess that I usually test that by cutting, although I probably shouldn't). If I don't like the crispiness yet, I remove the cover and fry them a little more on higher heat. The result is usually a crispy exterior and well-cooked but not dried out interior.

ETA: with the marinating part, I didn't mean that you should drown the legs in oil... only that the leg should be oiled and rubbed with spices all over.
