COQ AU RISELING

by lotuswolves, posted in In the Kitchen, SAVORY

This is my recipe for Coq au Riesling that I changed up from a magazine I saw years ago but cannot remember which magazine anymore. I swap out the regular bacon for Canadian Bacon. Instead of leeks I used celery and swapped out the garlic for thyme, coriander and fresh tarragon.

Ingredients:

1 (3 1/2-pound) whole cut-up chicken, with skin

10 slice or 1 package of Canadian bacon diced

4 celery stalks chopped

4 carrots chopped

1 tablespoon of Coriander (to be sprinkled on all pieces of the chicken)

1 tablespoon of dried Tarragon or 4 sprigs of fresh Tarragon

3 sprigs of Thyme

2 1/2 cups of sweet Riesling wine (I use Barefoot wine for this)

2 tablespoon(s) chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves (Optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Sprinkle chicken with the coriander.
  2. In medium pot, cook the Canadian bacon on medium heat until slightly brown 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. Add the chicken and cook them for about 4 minutes each side until the skin is browned.
  4. Now chop the celery and carrots.
  5. Add the celery, carrots, bacon and wine to the pot.
  6. Put the lid on and cook for 35minutes.
  7. Add the parsley towards about 25 minutes into the cooking.

For a side you can steam some broccoli, or add a piece of avocado, or pair the chicken with some simple couscous.
