Recipe: Easy Chicken Coq A Vin


  • I made this dinner last night, it was soooo good and super easy. I will definitely make it again, it would also be a great dinner party entree. You can serve it with brown rice, quinoa, or sop up the sauce with some fresh bread (in moderation :)), you may need a spoon for this one but no knife! Enjoy!

  • Easy Chicken Coq A Vin
  • this was about 3-4 servings (Scotty and I ate it all!)

    Ingredients

    • 2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless skinless 
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 5 cloves crushed garlic
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
    • 1 cup chopped onion
    • 3 carrots, sliced
    • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
    • 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary
    • 1 cup red wine (I used white, it was all we had, also had a swig of it during :))
    • 2 (14.5 ounce) can diced or whole peeled tomatoes (I like POM tomatoes, the ones in a carton)
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Directions

    1. In a large skillet, heat oil. Add 1/2 of the garlic. Season flour with poultry seasoning. Dredge chicken parts in flour, then brown in the skillet for 4 or 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrots, mushrooms, rosemary and the remaining garlic. Stir all together.
    2. Add the wine and tomatoes; stir. Cover and let simmer over low heat for 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and let simmer for another 10 minutes. Let cool covered for 10 minutes, then serve.
