chasseurs
Light cavalry soldiers
Chasseurs is a French culinary term for a sauce or dish prepared "hunter's style"—typically featuring mushrooms, shallots, tomatoes, and white wine.
Chicken chasseur is the classic preparation: The bistro's poulet chasseur was rich with herbs and earthy mushrooms.
The word literally means "hunters" in French, suggesting rustic game preparations.
