It's from the website of the Kingdom of Galandor, part of the Empire of 
Chivalry & Steel

The recipe says:

Basque Chicken

_*

This is from the notes of Vidal du Baton Malaxatxevarria

1 fryer chicken
2 cloves garlic, put through press
Olive oil
1 small can pimentos, sliced
1 cup mushrooms
2 tbsp. Snipped parsley
¼ cup dry white sherry
Salt and pepper to taste

Pour olive oil in frying pan, add garlic and chicken, fry until brown. 
Add all ingredients _except sherry_,_ _and sauté, turning frequently, 
for several minutes.

Add sherry, cover pan, and cook slowly until chicken is tender. Stir 
occasionally, add liquid if needed.

I don't know who Vidal du Baton Malaxatxevarria is, though the last part 
is a Basque surname.  My guess is that this is a traditional Basque 
recipe of unknown age.  It has no blatantly OOP ingredients.  The 
Atlantias MOAS page has links to all kinds of recipes, from documentably 
medieval to medievalish to "traditional" to blatantly modern.

Happy cooking!
