What is “mirepoix”?

psst…it’s pronounced “Meer-pwah.”

Mirepoix is the foundation of French cooking. Carrots, celery, and onion combine to craft the basis for iconic dishes like beef bourgouignon, french onion soup, coq au vin, and more! (Swap out the carrots for bell peppers and you get the “Holy Trinity” - mirepoix with a southern twist that forms the base of gumbos and other delicacies.)

We’re called Mirepoix Chicken because our ethos is “back to basics.”

Mirepoix Chicken is about getting the foundation right. Our products are rich and flavorful without all of the additives or cruelties of commercial chicken farming. Sourced locally, treated respectfully, and dressed to perfection, Mirepoix Chicken is sure to be a hit at your dinner table.
