Ingredients
- 1 free-range chicken, cut into large pieces, leaving skin on
- Olive oil, for sauteeing
- 1 slice smoked duck breast, roughly chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 slice unsmoked bacon, cut into cubes
- 5 tomatoes, peeled and pureed
- 1 cup tomato concentrate/puree
- 2 1/4 cups water, plus 2 cups water, for blanching
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, for thickening
- Pinch salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 bitter oranges, blanched *see cooks note (recommended: Bigerades)
- Serving suggestion: boiled potatoes
Instructions
- Saute the chicken pieces in olive oil in the pot until they are golden brown. Add the duck breast and saute another few minutes. Remove and reserve on a plate.
- Brown the onions and garlic in the chicken drippings. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Fry the bacon in another pan. *Cooks note: don’t use any oil as there is enough fat in the bacon. When the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered, combine with chicken and duck breast and set aside.
- Mix the peeled tomatoes with the tomato concentrate and puree. Heat them in another casserole until they turn slightly golden. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the flour to thicken. Add the onions and garlic to the tomato mixture. Add the chicken, bacon, and duck and cover with 2 1/4 cups of water. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a slow simmer and cook for 40 minutes. Add 3 slices of blanched orange to casserole and leave for 15 minutes to allow the orange aromas to permeate the chicken. Then remove them and reserve for garnish.

Reviews
I hate most chicken you get in the united states — try this and you will know why. is there a recipe for poulet basque on food network? yum.
This is incredibly easy to make, and absolutely delicious. An instant family favorite, definitely a comfort food!
I prepared this chicken with oven roaster potates for a dinner party and everyone absolutely loved it! they asked for the receipe and I gave it to them. It pretty easy to prepare. The aroma, texture and presentation were great. I recommend this dish for any impromptu “dinner parties” your husband schedules with just 3 hrs. of warning.
