Creamy Coq au Vin Blanc
This recipe is a favorite of mine due to its delicious cream sauce and the flavorful dark meat chicken. It's a timeless classic in French cuisine.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs with skin
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 (6 ounce) package portobello mushroom caps
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 2 tablespoons white cooking wine, or to taste
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup chopped sweet onion
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick pot over medium heat. Add chicken thighs, Italian seasoning, and garlic; cook until chicken is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Mix mushrooms and tomato into chicken mixture; reduce heat, cover pot, and cook until mushrooms are softened, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
- Drain accumulated juices from chicken-mushroom-tomato mixture into a separate saucepan and transfer chicken-mushroom-tomato mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Pour wine into saucepan with juices and bring to a boil. Add cream and Gruyere cheese; cook and stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved; mix into cream sauce until smooth and thickened. Pour sauce over chicken-vegetable mixture, top with onion.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
