Simple Coq au Vin

Preparation

Step 1


Sizzle the bacon over medium heat in a deep frying pan big enough to hold the chicken. Remove the bacon and set aside.


Step 2


Brown the chicken well on all sides. Set aside and remove the excess fat.


Step 3


Sautee the onions until golden brown. Return the bacon and chicken pieces to the frying pan.


Step 4


Add wine, herbs, garlic and pour in the broth. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.


Step 5


Add the mushrooms to the frying pan and boil quickly. Reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes more.


Step 6


Season to taste and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
