Coq au Vin Blanc with Roasted Potatoes and Carrots
A classic French chicken stew made with white wine, served alongside roasted potatoes and carrots.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
- 1 can Mushrooms, Pieces & Stems
- 1 large, chopped Onion
- 3 medium, peeled and chopped Carrots
- 3 medium, peeled and cubed Potatoes
- 1.5 cups Dry White Wine
- 1.5 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- to taste Salt and Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss potatoes and carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35-45 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. Stir occasionally.
- While the vegetables roast, pat the chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add chopped onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the canned mushrooms (drained).
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce the alcohol.
- Add the chicken broth, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Return the chicken to the pot, nestling it among the vegetables.
- Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
- Serve the chicken stew hot, spooning the sauce over the roasted potatoes and carrots. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
