Quick One Pan Coq Au Vin Blanc

Recipe Description

I love a good, one pan dinner and this One Pan Coq Au Vin Blanc helps you make an elevated dish in one pan, following a few simple steps. With a hearty list of ingredients making an infamous Coq Au Vin, French flavor combo between the chicken thighs cooked with bacon, shallots, garlic, mushrooms, white wine, rosemary, thyme and fresh cream. The choice of egg noodles, mashed potatoes or some crusty French baguette, for dipping, gives you so many different ways to enjoy serving this dish. 

To make One Pan Coq Au Vin Blanc, you will need the following ingredients:

  1. 1

    In a low dish, season 6 chicken thighs with kosher salt, ground pepper and all-purpose flour, if using.

  2. 2

    Cook bacon

    3 min
    Step 2 - Quick One Pan Coq Au Vin Blanc

    In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add 4 slices of bacon which has been cut into 1-inch pieces and cook for about 2-3 minutes until almost crispy. Drain excess fat, if you wish.

    Move the vegetables to the side of the pan, leaving space for the seasoned chicken thighs. Place the 6 chicken thighs, skin-side down and cook for about 4 minutes on each side. If the thighs do not fit then cook in batches, as needed. Take care not to burn the vegetables.
