For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken leg quarters in the pot before adding the water. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences and what you have available. Corn on the cob, cabbage, or green beans would also be delicious additions. If you don't have chayote, you can substitute it with another similar vegetable like summer squash or even a firm pear. Adjust the amount of salt to your taste. It's always best to start with less and add more as needed. Serve with warm corn tortillas, a side of Spanish rice, and refried beans for a complete and satisfying meal.
