Poulet basquaise

Poulet basquaise combines chicken pieces with peppers, tomatoes, onion and garlic. The chicken is browned, then cooked gently with the vegetables in a covered casserole. Espelette pepper can season the dish, and rice is one accompaniment.^[1]

Some preparations include ham, thyme and dry white wine. In a version cooked with the vegetables’ own juices, the peppers and onion soften around the chicken and the cooking liquid may be reduced before serving. The vegetable mixture is prepared in the same casserole after the chicken is browned.^[2][1]
