Chicken Thighs with Spicy Tomato-Pepper Sauce
Gerald Hirigoyen named his restaurant after pipérade, a Basque vegetable stew that combines tomatoes, bell peppers and onions; here he uses a pipérade puree to braise chicken. He says children love this lightly sweet sauce: "Anytime I'm cooking for my son and need to get him to eat something, I use pipérade and call it ketchup."Cost: $33.50Terrific Chicken Recipes
