4 1/2 tablespoons flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon herbes de provence

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups peeled baby carrots
3 stalks celery
1 medium onion
1 1/3 cups Chardonnay wine
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup lightly packed flat-leaf parsley sprig
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh tarragon sprig

Steps:

  • In a plastic bag, shake flour with 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoons pepper, and the herbes de Provence; set aside.
  • In a 5- to 6-qt. pan over medium-high heat, brown bacon, stirring occasionally, 6 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, cut chicken into 1-in. chunks, then shake half at a time in flour to coat.

Tips:

  • Sear the chicken well: This will help to brown the chicken and develop flavor.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine will add flavor to the sauce, so it's important to use a wine that you enjoy drinking. A dry white wine, such as a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, is a good choice.
  • Don't boil the sauce: The sauce should be simmered gently over low heat. Boiling the sauce will cause the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to lose its flavor.
  • Serve the coq au vin with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Garnish the coq au vin with fresh parsley or chives: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Coq au vin is a classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive meal, give coq au vin a try.
