Chicken Coq au Vin
- 4 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
- 2 each chicken breasts bone-in, about 12 ounces each, skin removed, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1 x black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 4 ounces mushrooms quartered, about 1 1/2 cups
- 2 large carrots thinly sliced
- 1 small onions halved and sliced
- 1 teaspoon rosemary leaves dried
- 14 ounces chicken broth, low salt 1 can
- 1/2 cup red wine dry
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons parsley leaves freshly chopped, or cilantro
- Add 2 tablespoons of flour on a plate.
- Cut each chicken breast in half on the diagonal to get 4 portions about equal in weight.
- (Two will be smaller but thicker, the other two larger but thinner.)
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken breasts and dredge in the flour.
- Whisk water with 2 tablespoons of the leftover flour in a small bowl, set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the chicken.
- Cook, turning once or twice, until lightly browned on all sides, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the pan, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Stir in mushrooms, carrots, onion and rosemary and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and browned in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Pour in broth, wine, tomato paste and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir until the tomato paste is dissolved.
- Bring to a simmer.
- Bring the chicken and any accumulated juice back to the pan.
- Cover, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, stirring twice, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165AF, 16 to 22 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan onto a serving plate.
- Increase the heat to medium-high.
- Whisk the water-flour mixture again, stir into the pan and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken and top with parsley or cilantro leaves.
