Basque Chicken infuses the flavors of both Spain and France in this simple yet elegant baked chicken casserole.

Basque Chicken

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Basque Chicken is my recipe of the day with my blogging group Baking Bloggers. We get together once a month and bake up a new and tasty recipe for you on a topic voted on  by the group.

This month the group decided on the  baking of Spain.

For my selection I decided on Basque Chicken, which has both Spanish  and French  influences, as it comes from  the mountainous regions of the Pyrenees which  falls within  both countries.

I  love baked chicken dishes anyway so it wasn’t  a difficult choice for me. And cooking  with wine. I do love that.

All the flavors infuse in  there, from the chicken and peppers to the tomatoes and olives.

What a perfect dish  to pile atop any  respectful base such as rice, noodles, or polenta. And sop up the juices with a thick slice of crusty French bread. Just thinking on it makes me hungry again! How about you?
