1Place cleaned chicken legs in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then season with garlic and onion powder, lemon pepper, Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb seasoning, Montreal chicken seasoning, Weber Kick'N Chicken seasoning, and smoked paprika.
2Mix the chicken well to ensure it's fully coated with the seasonings.
3Sear the seasoned chicken legs in a frying pan for about 5 minutes on each side until they have a nice crust.
4Transfer the seared chicken legs to a baking dish.
5Sauté a diced yellow onion, green and red bell pepper, and garlic in the same pan used for the chicken.
6Once the vegetables start to soften and become translucent, add a whole stick of butter.
7After the butter is melted, add a half cup of flour to the pan.
8Season the mixture with garlic and onion powder, Montreal chicken seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
9Keep stirring the mixture on medium heat until it achieves a nice golden color for the gravy.
10Slowly mix in four cups of chicken broth, then let it simmer and stir until it thickens.
11Pour the thickened gravy over the chicken in the baking dish.
12Cover the baking dish and bake at 375°F for an hour and a half, uncovering for the last 30 minutes to brown the chicken.
13While the chicken is baking, prepare the green beans by cutting off their ends.
14Sauté some onions and garlic in a pot, then add the green beans, butter, and chicken broth.
15Season the green beans with garlic and onion powder, salt, and pepper, then boil them for about an hour until tender.
16Serve the smothered chicken and green beans over rice, accompanied by cornbread.
