Preparation
Separate chicken legs at joint. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add carrots, onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until slightly softened. Add mushrooms, basil, salt and pepper; cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are softened and slightly browned.
Stir in tomatoes, breaking up with spoon; bring to boil. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add zucchini; simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced.
