About its origin, we can not say much, we can just conclude that it comes from an encounter between a chicken and a Basque chef, a bad surprise for the former, and happy one for the guests...
This dish is ideally accompanied with rice as on the photo.
We can add mushrooms and olives to the recipe. In a variation of the preparation, chicken is first cooked and then incorporated into the vegetables. Each chef has his little cooking secrets.
