Introduction

Delish...
"The quick coq au vin is a streamlined twist on the labor-intensive French classic. Instead of the chicken being browned in bacon fat and then braised in broth, Cognac, and wine while onions and mushrooms are cooked separately and the liquid then thickened, our skillet version takes just 45 minutes from start to finish. What's more, it captures all the savory richness of the original."

Ingredients

    4 bacon slices, coarsely chopped
    4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, divided
    8 ounces large crimini (baby bella) mushrooms, halved
    8 large shallots, peeled, halved through root end
    2 garlic cloves, pressed
    1 1/2 cups dry red wine (such as Syrah)
    1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth, divided
    4 teaspoons all purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°F. Sauté bacon in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer to bowl. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon parsley. Add to drippings in skillet. Sauté until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side; transfer to pie dish (reserve skillet). Place in oven to keep warm.
Add mushrooms and shallots to skillet; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté until brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic; toss 10 seconds. Add wine, 1 1/4 cups broth, bacon, and 1 tablespoon parsley. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Boil 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place flour in small cup.
Add 1/4 cup broth, stirring until smooth. Add flour mixture to sauce. Cook until sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken on platter; stir juices from pie dish into sauce and spoon over chicken. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.

    I love this recipe! I am watching my carbs, so I skipped the flour and cut the wine a little. It was a tad salty as a result, so I added a dash of half and half to smooth it out. I also used some some thyme for a nice well-rounded flavor. Will make again, and often. - 4/18/12
