Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs or legs (skin-on, bone-in)
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 bell peppers (red and green) sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 tomatoes diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and brown them on both sides. Once browned, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, sliced bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat them. This will help thicken the sauce later.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, dried thyme, and bay leaf to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  6. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetable mixture.
  7. Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
  10. Serve Poulet Basquaise hot with crusty bread or over rice.
