Gluten-Free (if served without bread or with gluten-free sides) Coq au Vin French cuisine chicken recipe red wine chicken classic French dish comfort food

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until it's crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and brown them on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and garlic. Cook until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the red wine and chicken broth. Stir in the tomato paste and thyme leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. Cover the skillet and simmer the Coq au Vin over low heat for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  6. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Cook for a few minutes until the roux is golden brown.

  7. Add the roux to the skillet with the chicken, stirring well to thicken the sauce. Let the dish simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

  8. Serve the Coq au Vin hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and fresh parsley. Pair it with crusty bread or over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes for a truly comforting meal.
