Simple Coq au Vin

This dish is simple to make and tastes even better the second day. I serve is over rice with a salad and crusty French bread. Tres magnifique.

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 1 ½ cups olive oil
• 1 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine
• 4 bunches green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil
• 3 (6 ounce) cans mushroom stems and pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook chicken in hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Add red wine, tarragon, chervil, chives, and parsley to chicken; mix well.

Step 2

Mix green onions and mushrooms into chicken mixture; simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a thick sauce and chicken is longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
