Hearty Chicken With Wine Sauce

"This is a more approachable version of traditional Coq au Vin. You must try this new twist on the lovely french classic. I recommend serving with salad and fresh bread."

  1. Absolutely delicious! Made exactly as written for a dinner party and everyone raved. Crusty French bread is a must to soak up the "to-die-for" sauce. Thanks Adopted Parisian for a definite keeper.
     
  2. Wonderful tasting recipe. I did alter it slightly by adding a chopped carrot, a can of sliced mushrooms and I increased the tomato paste to 2 TBL to make it thicker. I served it over whole wheat noodles. This recipe is just bursting with flavors.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I are pastors who work with college students and young adults and we absolutely love it! The students are my "kids" and constantly teach me new things and keep my life interesting. I have posted many recipes here at their behest. Sometimes I think they just love me 'cause they know that can come over and get a fresh homecooked meal -a great break from their sketchy college cafeteria food! I grew up in a beautiful, loud, fun, albeit slightly crazy, Spanish-Italian family where cooking is not just about putting food on the table -it is an art. An intense, passionate art of carefully guarded secret recipes. So cooking is in my blood and I enjoy it immensely. I love having dinner parties just so I can whip up fancy new recipes. And the college students are always happy to be my guests!
