How to Make Classic Poulet Basquaise

This classic recipe combines tender bone-in chicken with stewed onions, peppers, and rich tomatoes, seasoned with the smoky regional spice piment d’Espelette. It makes for a comforting and savory weeknight dinner that can also be easily prepared ahead of time. The dish comes together by searing the chicken, softening the vegetables, and simmering everything together in wine, broth, and tomatoes until the meat is tender. Finished with chorizo and fresh thyme, it provides a hearty meal that stores well for up to five days.
