This is honestly such an easy yet impressive and flavour-packed dish! There’s a reason why creamy Coq Au Riesling (Coq Au Vin Blanc) is such a classic!
I haven’t really made a savoury dish this creamy before, so this was a change for me. The chicken is incredibly tender, almost falling off the bone tender, and the French bread was perfect for soaking up the delicious gravy. The flavour of the wine is also very apparent in the dish, so make sure to use a good quality wine. The bacon, mushroom and thyme were subtle in flavour in comparison but still contributed to a truly fantastic flavour profile overall.
We had this for dinner with a glass of the same Riesling wine that we used to cook the dish and it made for one amazing weekend dinner. Actually make that two, because we had enough leftovers for dinner the next day too! It’s a comforting, hearty meal that you can enjoy all year-round.
