  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Potatoes

 Ingredients List

  • Coq au Vin
  • 4 thick cut slices bacon, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 small sweet potato, chopped in 1/2 inch pieces (peeled if desired, I left mine on)
  • 2 medium size carrots, chopped in 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken tenders or small chicken breasts (may sub thighs if desired)
  • 2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups red wine, plus more if needed
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 whole sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • 4 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and quartered (I used Idaho, but you may sub Russet)
  • 2-4 garlic cloves, peeled (I used 4)
  • salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
  • 8 fresh sage leaves, chopped
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

 Directions

1. In a large pot of cold water, bring the potatoes and garlic to a boil. Salt the water and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or brazier with high sides over medium-high heat and cook bacon until crispy. Add another drizzle of oil if needed and then add the onion, garlic, carrots and sweet potatoes. Cook the veggies, stirring often until soft and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and then scooch the veggies to the outside of the pan to make room for the chicken.
3. Add a drizzle of oil to the pan if needed. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the hot pan and sear on both sides until browned. About 4-8 minutes per side, depending on how thick your chicken is (mine was thin). Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook another minute or two.
4. Slowly pour in the red wine and chicken broth. Add the a bay leaf and thyme and season with salt + pepper. Gently stir everything to combine and then bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by about 1/3.
5. By this time, the potatoes should be just about ready to be drained. Drain the potatoes, return the potatoes to the pot and mash over low heat, or mash in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, adding the cream and 2 teaspoons salt.
6. In a skillet or small sauce pot melt the butter and chopped sage over medium heat until just browned. The butter will melt, foam and froth, then begin to brown along the bottom. Whisk browned bits off of the bottom of the pan. Pour the browned sage butter into the warm mashed potatoes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
7. To serve, remove the bay leaf and thyme from the Coq au Vin. Plate the mashed potatoes. Serve the chicken on the side of the mashed potatoes and then ladle the sauce + veggies over the chicken. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
