Coq au Vin
Yield: Makes 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
1/2
cup all-purpose flour

1-1/4
teaspoons salt

3/4
teaspoon black pepper

3-1/2
pounds chicken pieces

2
tablespoons butter or margarine

8
ounces mushrooms, cut in half if large

4
cloves garlic, minced

3/4
cup chicken broth

3/4
cup dry red wine

2
teaspoons dried thyme leaves

1-1/2
pounds red potatoes, quartered

2
cups frozen pearl onions (about 8 ounces)

Chopped fresh parsley (optional)



Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F.

2.
Combine flour, salt and pepper in large resealable food storage bag. Add chicken, two pieces at a time. Seal bag; turn to coat. Repeat with remaining chicken. Reserve remaining flour mixture.

3.
Melt butter in ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Arrange chicken in single layer in Dutch oven and cook 3 minutes per side or until browned. Transfer to plate; set aside. Repeat with remaining pieces.

4.
Add mushrooms and garlic to Dutch oven; cook and stir 2 minutes. Sprinkle reserved flour mixture over mushroom mixture; cook and stir 1 minute. Add broth, wine and thyme; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to scrape up browned bits on bottom of Dutch oven. Add potatoes and onions; return to a boil. Remove from heat and add chicken, partially covering with liquid.

5.
Bake, covered, about 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (170°F for breast meat, 180°F for dark meat), and potatoes are tender. Transfer chicken and vegetables to shallow bowls. Spoon sauce over chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
