Braised chicken is a cooking method that involves slowly cooking chicken in a small amount of liquid. This technique allows the chicken to become tender and flavorful as it absorbs the surrounding ingredients. Common liquids used in braising include broth, wine, or even tomato sauce, often combined with herbs and spices for added taste. The process typically starts by searing the chicken in a hot pan to develop a rich color and flavor. Afterward, the chicken is submerged in the liquid and cooked on low heat, either on the stovetop or in the oven, until it is fully cooked and juicy. This method is popular in various cuisines, including French and Italian cooking.
