Coq au vin is a classic French dish that is traditionally made with chicken braised in red wine. However, this recipe takes a shortcut by using white wine, which results in a lighter, brighter flavor. This dish is also made in a single pot, which makes it easy to clean up. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to make this delicious dish, along with some tips and tricks for making the perfect coq au vin blanc.

Quick Coq au Vin Blanc image

A new take on the French classic, this one-pot dinner calls for white wine instead of the traditional red, uses bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, and best of all, cooks in just one hour.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 1/2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, for sprinkling
10 ounces frozen pearl onions, thawed and drained
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved (quartered, if large)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups dry white wine
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup lightly packed flat-leaf parsley leaves, for serving
Cooked egg noodles tossed with olive oil or butter, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown bacon in a large, straight-sided ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Season chicken with salt and pepper; sprinkle with flour. Working in 2 batches, add to skillet, skin-side down; cook until golden, about 4 minutes a side. Transfer to plate. Remove all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and mushrooms; season with salt. Cook until golden in spots, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 30 seconds. Add wine; boil until evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Return chicken and juices to skillet; top with bacon. Cook in oven until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley; serve over noodles.

CREAMY COQ AU VIN BLANC



Creamy Coq au Vin Blanc image

One of my favorite recipes because of the nice cream sauce and dark meat chicken. A classic French recipe.

Provided by Jeffrey Mehlhorn

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     French

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 bone-in chicken thighs with skin
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (6 ounce) package portobello mushroom caps
1 tomato, sliced
2 tablespoons white cooking wine, or to taste
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 cup chopped sweet onion

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a nonstick pot over medium heat. Add chicken thighs, Italian seasoning, and garlic; cook until chicken is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Mix mushrooms and tomato into chicken mixture; reduce heat, cover pot, and cook until mushrooms are softened, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
  • Drain accumulated juices from chicken-mushroom-tomato mixture into a separate saucepan and transfer chicken-mushroom-tomato mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour wine into saucepan with juices and bring to a boil. Add cream and Gruyere cheese; cook and stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved; mix into cream sauce until smooth and thickened. Pour sauce over chicken-vegetable mixture; top with onion.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

COQ AU VIN BLANC



Coq au Vin Blanc image

Just as Oregon borrows from Burgundy in vineyards planted with pinot noirs and chardonnays, that region also inspires dinner. The iconic boeuf bourguignon would not be the best choice with chardonnay, but this version of coq au vin, replacing Chambertin with chardonnay, couldn't be better. I went light with it, omitting the bacon lardons. And I gave a nod to Oregon's truffle crop by finishing the sauce with a gloss of black truffle butter. It's a modest investment that elevates the dish. A generous slab of unsalted butter (especially if it's high-fat European-style) could also bolster the sauce, though with less foxy intrigue.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon grape-seed oil
1 3 1/2-pound chicken, in 10 pieces without backbone, dried
Salt and ground white pepper
8 ounces white pearl onions, blanched 3 minutes and peeled
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
4 cloves garlic, sliced
9 ounces oyster mushrooms, trimmed, clumps separated
3/4 cup chardonnay
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter (unsalted or black truffle)
1 tablespoon minced tarragon

Steps:

  • Heat the oil on medium-high in a 4-quart stovetop casserole or sauté pan. Add the chicken, skin side down, as many pieces as fit comfortably. Cook until lightly browned, season with salt and pepper and turn to brown other side. Remove to a platter when done and repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Add the pearl onions to casserole and toss in fat until lightly browned. Remove to a dish. Reduce heat to low. Add the chopped onion, celery and garlic, cook until softened, and stir in the mushrooms. When they wilt, add the wine, bring to a simmer and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Return chicken to casserole with any accumulated juices, baste, cover and cook 30 minutes, basting a few more times. Remove the chicken to a platter.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and cook the sauce and mushrooms about 5 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly. Lower heat, add the pearl onions and butter. When butter melts, check seasonings, return chicken to casserole, baste and simmer a few minutes. Serve from casserole or transfer to a deep platter. Scatter the tarragon on top before serving.

30-MINUTE COQ AU VIN



30-Minute Coq au Vin image

Classic coq au vin can take up to two days to prepare, including marinating the chicken overnight. We make a red wine sauce with bacon, mushrooms and pearl onions (the frozen variety, so you can skip the tedious peeling), then slip in rotisserie chicken parts to warm through, and voila!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2 inch strips (about 4 1/2 ounces)
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved or quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup red wine
1 1/2 cups frozen pearl onions
2 sprigs fresh thyme or pinch dried thyme
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
Pinch sugar, optional
1 cooked rotisserie chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the bacon into an unheated large, high-sided skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring periodically, until the bacon is browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a small bowl with a slotted spoon; set aside.
  • Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, flour and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens a little, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, wine, onions, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and more pepper. Bring to a boil, then let simmer until thickened, about 4 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, and whisk in the butter a little at a time. If the sauce tastes a little too acidic, add the sugar. Nestle the chicken and cooked bacon into the sauce, and simmer gently until the chicken is heated through, 6 to 7 minutes. (This could take up to 10 minutes if the chicken is cold, or as little as 3 minutes if it is warm.) Spoon the sauce over the chicken pieces periodically to coat completely. Toss the chicken in the sauce, remove the thyme stems, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

10 slices bacon, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 organic chickens, about 3 1/2 to 4 pounds each, quartered, rinsed and patted dry
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups full-bodied dry white wine, such as white Burgundy, or a California Chardonnay
1 1/2 cups rich chicken stock
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 onion, finely chopped
8 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
30 small pearl onions, peeled
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup minced shallots (2 large shallots)
1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
Egg noodles, cooked according to package directions, accompaniment
1 pound button mushrooms, wiped clean and halved or quartered if large (should match size of pearl onions)
Braised Leeks, recipe follows
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons tomato paste
Pinch pepper
4 large leeks, tough outer leaves discarded and leeks trimmed to about 7-inches in length
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 teaspoons chopped thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large, heavy Dutch oven over high heat fry the bacon until crisp and all of the fat is rendered. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the crisp bacon bits to paper towels to drain. Set aside and reserve.
  • Season the chicken pieces with the salt and pepper. Brown the chicken pieces in the hot bacon fat, working in batches, if necessary, until golden on all sides. Transfer the chicken pieces to a large plate or bowl and set aside. Remove all but about 4 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the Dutch oven. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the chopped onion, pearl onions, shallots and garlic cloves to the Dutch oven and cook until soft, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook for 7 minutes longer, or until they've released most of their liquid and have begun to brown. Add the flour and tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Slowly add the wine and stock, stirring constantly. Add the thyme, bay leaves reserved bacon and chicken. Bring liquid to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook the sauce at a gentle simmer for 15 minutes, until liquid is slightly thickened. Bring the sauce to a boil and cover the pot. Place in the oven and cook for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is very tender. Transfer the chicken pieces to a serving dish and cover loosely to keep warm. Return pot to medium-low heat. Skim any fat from the surface of the cooking liquid and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the heavy cream and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 15 to 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Return the chicken to the Dutch oven and cook for a few minutes to heat through, then serve.
  • Serve with egg noodles and Braised Leeks. Garnish with chopped parsley.
  • Using a sharp knife, trim most of the roots off the ends of the leeks, leaving enough so that the leek remains attached at the bottom. Cut each leek lengthwise into halves or quarters, as desired. Run leeks under cold running water, using fingers to loosen and remove any dirt or sand from between the leaves.
  • In a heavy skillet or saute pan that has a tight fitting lid, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks to the skillet with any water that is clinging to the leaves from washing them. Cook the leeks, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the stock and thyme and lower the heat to medium-low. Braise the leeks, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until the leeks are very tender. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     French

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken
12 pearl onions
½ cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon white sugar
4 large mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups dry and robust red wine (such as Syrah or Grenache)
2 bay leaves
1 sprig thyme, leaves picked
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine
1 teaspoon potato starch
4 slices bread, crusts removed
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Cut wings from the chicken, cutting at the joints into 3 pieces. Cut the remaining chicken into 4 pieces, 2 breasts and 2 legs. Remove skin and bones from the breasts. Set breasts aside with the 4 meatier wing pieces.
  • Pull of skin from the chicken legs and remove tips from the drumsticks. Cut down each side of the thigh bone and slide your knife under the bone to separate meat from it. Holding the thigh bone, cut all around the joint at the knee and pull out the bones. Add the legs to the breasts and wings.
  • Combine pearl onions, water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sugar in a large saucepan; bring to a boil and cook until water is evaporated and onions begin to fry, 2 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking and stirring, shaking the pan occasionally, until onions are lightly browned and glazed on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cover.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken wings and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add 1 1/2 cups red wine, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Return legs and wings to the skillet; cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add chicken breasts and simmer gently until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons red wine and potato starch together in a bowl until dissolved; stir into chicken mixture until sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add pearl onions and mushrooms with their juices; keep warm.
  • Cut each slice of bread diagonally in half to form 2 triangles. Trim each triangle into a heart shape. Spread canola oil onto a baking sheet and press bread hearts into the oil so they are moistened on both sides.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until croutons are browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Dip the tip of each crouton into the sauce; press into parsley until coated.
  • Cut chicken breasts and legs in half. Serve 1 breast piece, 1 drumstick or thigh, and 1 wing per person with 2 croutons and spoonfuls of sauce and vegetables. Sprinkle remaining parsley over chicken.

8 to 10 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, rinsed and halved (optional)
20 whole baby carrots, cut in half
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
2 large sweet onions, chopped, or 2 cups pearl onions
1 bottle red wine (white works, too)
