About the dish

Poulet au vinaigre is a traditional bistro classic consisting of chicken in a creamy vinegar sauce. The ingredients include pieces of chicken, onions, shallots, garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, cream, chicken stock, white wine, and red wine vinegar. Once prepared, the chicken is transferred to a platter and the sauce is poured over the chicken. While the garlic, shallots, and onions give the dish a rich and deep flavor, it's the acidity from the tomatoes, wine, and vinegar that make poulet au vinaigre so satisfying. It's recommended to serve the dish with rice, macaroni gratin, fried green beans, or rustic bread on the side.
