The name means Chicken cooked hunter style, just like poulet bonne femme 
is chicken cooked 'homestyle' or 'housewife style' and pasta puttanesca 
doesnt mean it has women of negotiable virtue *in* the sause, it is made 
in the style that a woman of negotiable virtue might cook something.

Basically it means that hunter style foods may be cooked with stuff that 
the hunters found out in the woods, onions, mushrooms and herbs 
predominate.
