Using a non-stick sauce pot on medium heat, add oil and start to brown your chicken legs, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Once the chicken has a deep golden color add fresh thyme and flour. Stir until flour absorbs all fat. Slowly add broth, to create gravy and simmer for 1 hour.

In another sauce pan, bring milk and butter to boil. Add grits and simmer on low heat. Once grits are tender, remove from heat and stir in cheese and chives. Season with salt and pepper.

In a mixing bowl, toss all vegetables with butter, salt and pepper. Lay out evenly on cookie sheet and roast in oven for 35 minutes on 375 degrees.

Once vegetables, grits, and chicken are done, arrange all components on a plate. Use fresh herbs or micro greens for garnish and enjoy!
