Lynn's Coq au Vin 🍷🍗

This classic French dish is perfect for a cozy dinner or a special occasion. Coq au Vin, or “rooster in wine,” is a rich and hearty meal that's sure to impress your guests. With tender chicken simmered in a flavorful wine sauce, this dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or creamy mashed potatoes! 🥖🥔

Ingredients

For the main dish

1 roasting chicken (or 4 boneless breasts)
3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
½ cup salt pork, diced
¾ cup mild onion, chopped
1 carrot, sliced
3 shallots or scallions, minced
1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram, minced
½ bay leaf
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Brandy
2 cups dry red wine
½ pound mushrooms, sliced

Instructions

In a large skillet, melt the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the salt pork, onion, carrot, shallots, and garlic. Sauté until lightly browned. Set aside.
In the same skillet, brown the chicken in the reserved fat until golden. Once browned, sprinkle the flour, parsley, marjoram, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper over the chicken.

💡 Browning the chicken well adds a depth of flavor to your Coq au Vin, so take your time here!

Pour in the Brandy and let it cook for 1-2 minutes before adding the wine. Stir to combine, then cover the skillet. Simmer on low heat for about 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
In the last 5 minutes, add the sliced mushrooms and skim off any excess fat. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve the chicken on a hot platter, pouring the luscious sauce and vegetables over the top.

🍽️ For an authentic experience, enjoy with a side of baguette to soak up the delectable sauce, or over creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting meal!

Variations

Herb variation: Add a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary for extra aromatic flavors. 🌿
Vegetarian: Substitute chicken with a firm tofu or seitan and use vegetable broth instead of wine for a hearty, plant-based dish!
Mushroom lover: Enhance with a mix of exotic mushrooms like shiitake or oyster for a deeper earthy flavor.
Slow cooker: Transfer the browning steps to your slow cooker, then add the broth and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours for an easy, hands-off dinner!
