This is a more approachable version of traditional Coq au Vin. You must try this new twist on the lovely french classic. I recommend serving with salad and fresh bread. Ingredients:
6 skinless chicken thighs |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil |
8 slices bacon, chopped |
3 shallots, chopped |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
1 tomato, diced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 bay leaf |
4 cups red wine |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 sprig fresh thyme |
2 cups chicken stock |
Directions:
1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
2. In a hot saute pan, heat grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides. Set aside.
3. Add bacon to the pan and cook off fat. When bacon is almost cooked, add shallots.
4. After 2 minutes, add tomato paste, tomato chunks, garlic, and bay leaf for seasoning. Turn heat down to low-medium and cook for about 5 minutes, continually stirring with a wooden spoon.
5. Deglaze pan with wine and cook for 10 minutes.
6. Return chicken to pan, add thyme sprigs and chicken stock.
7. Cover with foil and place in preheated oven of 350 degrees. Cook for 1 hour.
8. Remove foil and continue cooking after stirring chicken uncovered for 15 minutes.
