Default Good recipe with chicken leg quarters & Merlot/Marsala?

I need a new recipe for dinner. My husband and I eat A LOT of chicken, and the same old combinations of chicken and rice, chicken and noodles, baked/broiled chicken are getting boring. I also have some wine I need to use up. Does anyone have a good recipe using chicken leg quarters and Merlot or Marsala?

Brown your chicken pieces in a little olive oil, then set them aside on a plate. In the same pan, (with a little more oil if needed) saute 2 cloves garlic, minced, about 1/2 cup chopped onion, and at least a cup of sliced mushrooms. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, salt and pepper to taste. When onions are soft and shrooms lightly browned, add your wine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Put the chicken back in, and add any fresh veggies you have on hand - broccoli, carrots, whatever - its all good. Cover with a lid and let simmer till the chicken is cooked and the veggies are steamed. Spoon it all over cooked rice. I have no idea what this is called, but its pretty good. As for how much wine to use, just eyeball it, its a very forgiving dish. You can also thicken it with a little cornstarch in water, if you like.
