Ingredients

Literally translated “rooster in wine," Coq au Vin (pronounced coke-oh-vanh) is a classic example of French country cooking. We've picked up the pace by using precooked bacon, sliced mushrooms, and boneless chicken thighs. Keep to the French theme and serve with a baguette. Recipe may be frozen and halved.
6 Tbsp. flour
2 lb. Taste of Inspirations Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs, cut into quarters
2 Tbsp. olive oil
6 slices Hannaford Fully Cooked Sliced Bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 (8-oz.) pkg. sliced mushrooms
1/2 (1 lb.) bag baby carrots, quartered lenghtwise
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. kosher salt, or to taste
1 1/4 cup dry red wine, such as Beaujolais or Zinfandel
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup finely chopped Italian parsley (optional)
