Keto Coq au Vin ( French Chicken Stew)
How to Make It
Step 1
Finely dice the onion, slice the carrot and mushrooms, and mince the garlic. To a heavy-base skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring.
Step 2
Add 1 minced garlic clove and stir. Cook for 3-4 more minutes until the mushrooms are browned. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
Step 3
Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and add the chicken skin side down. Season with salt and pepper and sear for 5 minutes. Flip, season, and sear for 5 more minutes.
Step 4
Remove the chicken pieces and place them on a plate. Drop the heat to medium, and add the chopped onions and carrots. Saute for 3-5 minutes until soft.
Step 5
Add the remaining minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the wine, chicken stock, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, and pearl onions. Stir and bring to a simmer.
Step 6
Return the chicken to the skillet, drop the heat to medium-low, cover with foil, and cook for 20-25 minutes on a low simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Add the mushrooms, stir, and cook for another 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 7
Take the skillet off the heat and let it cool slightly. Chop the parsley and sprinkle it on top. Serve immediately!
