Literally named “chicken in a pot,” poule au pot is a traditional Sunday dinner in France. This rustic yet healthy dish consists of a whole chicken cooked with vegetables in a flavorful broth (no store-bought stock needed). For such a simple recipe, the result is an incredibly flavorful dish, with fall-off-the-bone chicken guaranteed every time.
Poule au pot is a specialty hailing from the southern French Pyrénées Mountains, but it’s embraced throughout the entire country. Alongside boeuf bourguignon and coq au vin, it’s one of the most iconic recipes of French country cooking.
