Quicker Kosher Lower Carb Coq Au Vin

This is a combination/variation on several posted recipes for Coq Au Vin to make it simpler, kosher (no bacon or butter) and with less carbohydrates. It got 4 thumbs up when I made it for my family. This makes lots of sauce, so be sure to serve it with rice, noodles or boiled potatoes.
