Total time: 2 h 5 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces; 6 strips of bacon, chopped; 1 large onion, thinly sliced; 3 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 cup of red wine; 2 cups of chicken broth; 2 tablespoons of tomato paste; 1 tablespoon of olive oil; 8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced; 2 carrots, peeled and diced; 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Brown the chicken pieces on all sides, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped bacon and cook until it becomes crispy.
Add the sliced onions and garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir well to coat.
Pour in the red wine and chicken broth, stirring constantly to combine.
Add the tomato paste, mushrooms, and diced carrots, then return the chicken pieces to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the pot and let the Coq Au Vin Vanwell simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the flavors have melded.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken pieces and simmer the sauce uncovered for a bit longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
