Made this Coq au Vin Blanc (chicken in white wine) Tonight and It was Amazing!

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic white wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Non-alcoholic wine maintains flavor without alcohol.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon reduces fat while adding smokiness.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier with good fats.

chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: pork

Tofu is plant-based, while pork is often less expensive.

Marinate chicken in white wine with thyme and bay leaves for at least 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy; remove and set aside.

Add chicken to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes; remove and set aside.

Sauté onions, carrots, and garlic in the bacon fat until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Stir in mushrooms and cook until golden, about 3-4 minutes.

Return chicken and bacon to the pot; add marinating wine and chicken stock.

Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the oven; cook for 45 minutes.

Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Garnish with parsley and serve with crusty bread or over rice.
