Poulet basquaise

France · Europe

Short description: This chicken dish relies on a pepper-and-tomato sauce that becomes both the braising liquid and the serving sauce.
Ingredients: Chicken is browned, then simmered with tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, white wine, olive oil, and red chile.
Cultural note: It is associated with Basque-style home and restaurant cooking, where the vegetable sauce carries the identity of the plate.
Common misconception: It is not a generic chicken stew; the pepper, tomato, and chile base is central.
