Coq au vin classic French chicken wine stew

June 11, 2018 by Lisa Grable Leave a Comment

Coq au vin is chicken with wine. This dish gets its rich flavors from wine, mushrooms, carrots, garlic, and bacon. Coq au vin is comfort food but also has that gourmet flair. Today we can use fresh boneless chicken, so I’ve modernized the recipe with less cooking time.Coq au vin is a French chicken stew with chicken, wine, mushrooms, and carrots. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.

You will need a pasta pot, pans for dredging, sharp knife, large cooking spoon, and cutting board for meat. Be sure to choose a red wine you would enjoy drinking!coq-au-vin - 6

Place butter in the pan and turn on high heat. Immediately when the butter melts, add 2 tbsp olive oil and turn down the heat to medium high. Add the sliced mushrooms. Add herbs. Stir and flip the mushrooms until soft, about 7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms to a bowl. Tip: Do not add salt to mushrooms while cooking. I use herbs such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, or tarragon.

Place two dredging pans side by side. Put 2 tbsp of wine in one, the flour in the other. Add seasoning to the flour and stir. Tip: I use Paula Deen’s house seasoning, 1/4 cup salt, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder.

Dip each piece of chicken in the wine, then roll in the flour mixture.coq-au-vin - 4

Start with the pan on high heat and add the remaining olive oil and the chicken. Turn down the heat to medium high. Allow the chicken to brown for a few minutes. Use tongs to turn the chicken over and brown the other side.

Push the chicken to one side. Add the carrots. Season and cook until softened. Tip: use raw baby carrots if desired, 6 ounces or more.coq-au-vin - 1

Add bacon, garlic, mushrooms, chicken broth, wine and herbs. Stir. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.coq-au-vin - 3

Check the chicken for doneness. It should be 175 degrees internally.
