Coq au Vin Blanc - this may be the most delicious chicken dish you've ever made. | @tasteLUVnourish

Coq au Vin Blanc

This Coq au Vin Blanc may become your most favorite chicken dish! It has wonderful complex flavors and tastes like pure comfort food. Perfect for entertaining or for a warming weekend family dinner.

Taste Love and Nourish

If you asked me to name a dish I’d eat over and over again…it would be this one. Not only for the reasons you’d assume. This incredibly warming meal is like a delicious hug in bowl and when the weather turns cool, it makes the entire house smell like home.

But, what I also look forward to, is the process of cooking this meal. Each step gives such satisfaction, from the browning bits of fragrant pancetta to the golden crisp skin of the chicken and the fruity aroma of the wine.

Coq au vin is a very homey traditional braised chicken, usually made with red wine. I do love that recipe, but to be honest, I love this one more. White wine is less overpowering and doesn’t affect the color of the chicken.

Another change I make is using pancetta instead of bacon. Bacon in the US is very smokey and I do love that, but not in coq au vin. I think the smokiness takes over. I love the way pancetta lends great flavor, but stays in the background.

This, to me, is a wonderful weekend meal, when you have time to linger and enjoy putting it all together. It also makes a nice meal for entertaining. I tend to make this our Sunday dinner an awful lot. Leftovers warm up perfectly for another night during the week.

Coq au Vin Blanc

Serves: 6 to 8

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces pancetta finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 whole chicken about 4 to 5 pounds, cut into pieces
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 16 ounces white button mushrooms or your favorite variety, sliced
  • 1 large shallot finely diced
  • 10 ounces pearl onions peeled (see Notes)
  • 1 stalk celery sliced
  • 2 medium carrots sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 bottle dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 5 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5 to 6 sprigs fresh parsley

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, cook the pancetta bits until golden and a bit crisp. Remove them, using a slotted spoon and set them aside on a small dish.
  • Add a bit of olive oil to the pot. Salt and pepper the chicken pieces and brown them on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, in small batches. Put the pieces aside in a large dish as you work.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add the mushrooms to the pot, continuing on medium high heat. If you need to, add just a smidgen of oil. Brown the mushrooms until they are a deep golden brown. This will give your dish great flavor. They will release some water during the process, but keep them going and do not add any salt at this stage. They'll begin to dry up and get brown and delicious. Once they are, add the shallot, pearl onions, celery and carrot. Continue cooking until the shallots soften. Add the garlic and cook for just a minute. Add the flour and stir to coat all of the vegetables.
  • Pour in the bottle of wine. Bring the wine to a light simmer and add the chicken broth, thyme sprigs, bay leaf and about 4 sprigs of the parsley along with the pancetta and chicken.
  • Cover the pot and place it in the oven for 1 1/2 to 1 hour and 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  • Sprinkle the remaining leaves of parsley over the top and serve with mashed or smashed potatoes.

Notes

You can save some money by buying a whole chicken and cutting it up yourself. I like to do that, but in a pinch, you can certainly find one already cut.
Fresh pearl onions are a bit time consuming to peel yourself, so feel free to use the frozen ones. Just give them a thaw in a sieve before using. A trick to peeling the fresh onions yourself, is to drop them into a pot of boiling water for just about thirty seconds. Lift them out with a slotted spoon and the peels will pop off much easier.

    Hi,Caroline.A newbie here to your posts. I want to try your dish au vin blanc for our book group in mid-August while it’s still hot and muggy here in Virginia (we’re reading a book set in France during WWII!). I will need to make it for 12-15 people (others will supply side dishes). When doubling or tripling, do you have any caveats? I thought I’d probably just make 2 pots side by side. Any tips? Merci beaucoup!!

      Ann…this answer is coming at you so late in the game. I’m sure you’ve figured it all out, eaten and moved on since asking. :) I’ve been working on other things for a bit…but…I would also consider using two large pots, honestly, unless you do have large commercial size pots. I hope your party was a blast! (Sounds like such a fun idea!)

    Fun recipe to make! I made a couple little changes after reading a couple other recipes – I used the wine and veggies (not mushrooms, tho) as an overnight marinade to whole chicken legs. I removed the chicken and strained the veggies from the wine before proceeding the next day as your recipe directs. We’re having it later this week, but if it tastes half as good as it looks and smells, we’re golden!

    I made this last night for me and my mom. It was so good and so much fun to make. I had my 81 y/o mom chopping and mincing, while I did all the cooking. It really does fill the house with an amazing smell. My mom used to make Coq au Vin when we were growing up, but she said she never put all the yummy things you have on your recipe. She loved it! I could still smell it as I was going to sleep and it gave me sweet dreams. :) We are having leftovers tonight, so I need to go google how to reheat it!

My heart is so full knowing that you both had that time together and enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing that with us!

      I know this bit of info is probably too late and you’ve already figured this out, but as far as reheating…I like to add just a tad bit of broth to the pot and reheat on medium-low heat on the stove top. I’m not a fan of reheating any meat dishes in the microwave. Not sure what happens in there, but the results are not as good. Again…thank you so much for your kind words! xo

    Hi,

    When you say “large” Dutch oven, about what size should it be? I don’t have one yet and need to go shopping. Smaller would be easier to put away somewhere…

    Thanks!

      Great question, Aaron! I use a six-quart dutch oven, as pictured above. When you refer to a “large” Dutch oven, usually you’re talking about something starting at six quarts going up to 13.5 quarts. I think the six-quart is a nice versatile size. I have both oval and round pots and would recommend the round. It fits better on the stove top and is easier to store among all my other round pots. Hope that helps. Have fun shopping! :)

    I have plans to make coq au vin this winter for my gf and I. I am a bit wary of her reaction to the “red” version as red wine doesnt sit well with her stomach any more, so I am glad to see there is a white wine version, though I dont see any reason you couldnt switch out red anyway (it’s like coffee vs cola for a caffeine fix lol).

      Thanks so much, Nicole! That’s a great question…but not an easy one to answer! There are so many variables and depending on who you’re listening to, the results can be so different. There’s this info that may give you some idea. According to their chart, there may be 20% or less alcohol remaining in this dish. Hope that helps!

    Hello there! Thank you very much for this incredibly delicious dish! I made this tonight and it was a huge hit! The aroma that permeated the house was making me and my fiancé very anxious and hungry. It was well worth the time waiting for. It is very delicious! I served it with mashed potatoes. The sauce was perfect for them. I used a Chardonnay because that was all I had but I am anxious to try it with other whites to see how the flavors change. It was a perfect dish for tonight; it’s cold and very windy outside. Thank you again!

    What a wonderful dish. Made this last night for my husbands birthday eve dinner, he loved it. He said it was fantastic and I have to agree. Made minor adjustments to the amounts because of the size of my cast iron dutch oven, used chicken thighs and served it over hearty trottole pasta. Home in a bowl. Delicious.

    I just had to leave a comment to tell you how much my family enjoys this recipe! I just made it for the second time and rather than cooking it right away, I did all the steps up until actually heating it up in the oven this morning and will pop it in the oven this evening for dinner. It’s been added to our “frequent favorite meals” list because we love it so much.
    I’d never cut a whole chicken by myself but I’m a convert now! I used the backbone from the chicken and the leftover carrots, celery and parsley and simmered it to create a stock to use in this dish while I prepared everything else. I even had 2 cups of stock left over to freeze. :)
    Thanks for an awesome recipe! :)

    I have the exact same concern/inquiry about using white wine instead of red. For years I’ve always contemplated using that last little bit of chardonnay instead of opening a new bottle. Now my fears lay rest assured :)

    Also, on another unrelated note, have anyone heard of the french dish where you essentially cook and whole chicken on the stove top in a giant pot of broth? I was talking to a friend the other day and we were talking about her French Aunt. Anyways, her aunt used to make this dish where she stuffed truffles and garlic under the skin of a whole chicken, wrapped the chicken in twine, then let it braise in a broth of carrots, sage, celery, onion, etc. Does anyone know what dish this is? I’ve looked all over online and can’t seem to find anything :/

      Thanks so much, Susan! Yes, a full bottle of wine is really what makes this so flavorful. It will cook down and be delicious. I use a standard bottle and that is usually about 750ml. Hope that helps and hope you love it!

      Absolutely, Vanda! You can reheat on the stove over low heat or covered in the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through.

    I made this a few weeks ago and my boyfriend couldn’t stop raving about it… so much so, he wants me to make it for dinner this week!
    I used couscous with this dish and it was amazing.
    Thanks for posting it :)

    I was searching pins for cooking inspiration this morning and saw this. I had to make it now! It’s in the oven now, and every step was as beautiful as you described. I feel that way about cooking in general. This will be added to my favorites to make, thank you for sharing. Next time I’m going to just try chicken thighs, I’m sure they’ll work. Cooking is definitely a gift for everyone . :)

    Oh wow, this looks like the ultimate cold-weather comfort food! I tried making coq au vin years ago and found the recipe I used to be almost too strong in flavor, I bet using white wine would really balance it out more! And your photos are stunning!

      I had the same experience, Denise. I think you’ll find you can taste all of the flavors in this without being overwhelmed by the wine or the bacon. Thanks so much for your kind words!

    Back when I still ate meat, I don’t think I even knew there was a white wine version of coq au vin! Seems like I was missing out, because this sounds like the ultimate in comfort.

      Thanks so much, Joanne! Honestly, I thought I was an absolute genius when the idea of Coq au Vin Blanc came to me! Then, I go ahead and google it…yeah, not a genius, by any means, after all.

    Holly canolli, this recipe looks the bomb. I love the rustic look of it. I could eat the entire thing with some crusty bread all by myself :-)

    I’ve found coq au vin to sometimes be overwhelmed with competing flavors – bacon and wine, as you noted. Once it is no longer in the upper 90’s here in Nor Cal, I look forward to enjoying this “hug in a bowl”. Using white wine is inspired!

    I adore your description of this dish – as one where the very process of lovingly completing each step gives you satisfaction and joy. And, of course … there’s the joy of the dish itself. Just gorgeous! I can practically savor it right through my computer screen! Fantastic. Absolutely pinning – this is the kind of dish every cook should have in their back pocket for a cozy weekend! :D
