Ingredients:

Serving

4 chicken legs with thigh
salt and black pepper
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp orange marmalade
1 tsp poppy seed
4 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 seedless cucumber, thinly sliced
1 bunch arugula or 1 bunch watercress, chopped
1/3 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped (fresh )
2 -3 tbsp chopped jarred banana pepper rings, plus
2 tbsp banana pepper juice
crusty bread , for mopping

Directions:

Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. In a small dish, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the mustard, and the crushed red pepper. Spread the mixture all over the chicken. Place chicken, meaty side down, in a nonstick skillet. Set a piece of foil loosely over the chicken, then place a plate or smaller pan on top and weigh it down with a brick or some cans.
Cook the chicken over medium heat until cooked through, about 25 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the vinegar, marmalade, and poppy seeds, then stream in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Toss the tomatoes, cucumber, and arugula with the dressing and season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine parsley, banana peppers, and pepper juice. Top the chicken with the parsley-pepper mixture and serve with the salad and the bread.
