Coq Au Vin Blanc
Coq au vin blanc is the white wine version of the coq au vin. It has tender chicken in a creamy sauce with mushrooms, herbs, and bacon.
Equipment
- 12-inch skillet or dutch oven
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Thighs
- 4 Chicken Drumsticks
- 2 tsp Herbs de Provence
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 2 tbsp Salted Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 slices Bacon, (cut into chunks)
- 2 Shallots, (diced)
- 4 cloves Garlic , (diced)
- 2 cups Mushrooms, (sliced)
- 2 cups White Wine
- 3 sprigs Thyme
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Parmesan, (freshly grated)
- 2 tbsp Parsley, (chopped)
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season with herbs de Provence, smoked paprika, black pepper, and kosher salt. Toss to ensure the chicken is fully coated.
- Add butter and olive oil to a large skillet (12 inch) over medium heat. Add chicken to the skillet and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side, then remove from the pan. Set aside.
- Add bacon to the pan and cook until the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes. Then add shallots and mushrooms continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, then add garlic and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken back into the pan and pour white wine on top. Place thyme and bay leaf into the juices and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the lid, add the cream, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of parmesan. Stir to combine and continue to cook for 10-20 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove the bay leaf.
- Add remaining parmesan and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Only use dry white wines - As the wine cooks down, the sugars get more concentrated, so the dish would be too sweet if you use other types of wine.
- Infuse the chicken with more flavor by marinating it in seasonings and herbs for at least 2 hours.
- Get slab bacon if you can, then slice it into thick batons. This way it doesn't disappear into the sauce and you're left with chunks of bacon in your coq au vin blanc!
- To make this coq au vin recipe in your crock pot, just follow the steps as is and cook on low for 8 hours.
