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?

I love all the flavors and colors in this dish – a tasty meal indeed.
That looks as delicious as it is vibrant nestled in the baking dish. I love a dinner that is simple in prep but elegant in flavor. Thank you for hosting.
Such a beautiful casserole! I love all that color. Sounds perfect over polenta.
That is a gorgeous dish, beautifully arranged in the roasting pan. It’s hard for me to make chicken look pretty in photos. You sure did!
Just wonderful and will be making this for dinner tomorrow – yum
This looks SOOOO GOOD. This has so many perfect flavors – we’ll have to try this soon. I have a freezer full of chicken!
What a beautiful dinner. I just got done eating and my stomach still rumbled.
That looks like a perfect potluck dish. When and if, we can gather in groups again, I’ll have to try making this. Or I can just have a couple friends come over and I can make this for them.
