    This coq au vin blanc recipe is not only easy to make, it’s delicious and will totally impress your guests when you serve it to them at your next party.

    Cast iron pan of the chicken and broth. There is a plate with rice and a salad behind it

    This recipe is one of the first chicken recipes I made when I moved out of my parents house and lived on my own.

    The flavor of this dish is robust, full-bodied and so delicious that you will want to make it often.

    Sometimes I make this dish with chicken that has the bone in and skin on, but lately I try to eat on the healthy side, so I decided to make it with boneless and skinless.

    How to make the coq au vin blanc

    Pre-step

    Heat your Dutch oven on medium. Place 5 pieces of bacon in it and fry them until they are nice and crispy. I find it takes around 8 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate and blot dry.

    Leave bacon grease in pan.

    Step one

    Gather the ingredients – crispy bacon, chicken thighs, onion, celery and mushrooms.

    Step two

    Add the chicken to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes on each side. Gather the herbs, bay leaf, chicken broth and wine.

    Step three

    Slice the onion and add it to the pan. (There still should be bacon grease in it, so no need to add oil.)

    Stir every few minutes until the onion becomes translucent. It takes about 5 minutes.

    Step four

    Add mushrooms, thyme, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for an additional 5 minutes.

    Step five

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Step six

    Add white wine, chicken broth and a bay leaf. Turn up the heat and scrape the bottom of the pan for all the yummies stuck there.

    Step seven

    Add the chicken back in the pan and crumble the bacon over it.

    Step eight

    Place the pan in the oven for 30 minutes.

    Once it’s done, I transfer it all to a smaller pan to serve it.

    I make a salad, plate some millet and get ready to eat this delicious dish.

    I hope you enjoyed this coq au vin blanc recipe as much as Christopher and I enjoyed eating it.

      Your post really hits home for me, since my food photography is continually evolving and I frequently shudder when I see some of my earliest attempts. And yes, I certainly do drool at the bacon—at least the way that YOU have it photographed! 🙂 Coq au vin is an all-time fave of mine, and I can’t wait to try your version!

      You know, one of the things I love about blogging is how it pushes me to learn and improve, and I also really find it very inspirational to go back through the archives of sites that I love and realize that they, too, have improved their photography over time. So I would urge anyone on the fence not to go delete from the archives – it makes me admire and love a site all the more to see how it’s evolved!
