Cut the connective tissue of the chicken, and sprinkle with salt. Heat olive oil in a fry pan over medium heat and place the chicken skin-side down. Press down with a spatula and cook for about 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes, then remove from the pan and place on a serving plate.

Using the leftover fat in the pan, saute the potatoes and mushrooms until golden brown. Serve alongside the chicken with watercress. Pour the green bean sauce from Step 2 over the chicken, and sprinkle with black pepper.
Cooking Basics
Thigh meat sinew is tough and should be removed beforehand. Make a shallow 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 in.) wide cut at a right angle into the sinew. Remove the sinew first when preparing bite-sized pieces.
