Coq au Vin

Try this really easy chicken meal during these cold days. I got this from Nigella's book Nigella's Express, but tweaked it a bit - eg., instead of using ordinary bacon, I used Canadian bacon for less fat.



Serve this with noodles or with bread. Enjoy!


COQ AU VIN

Ingredients
500 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup diced bacon (I used Canadian bacon)
1 Tbsp Garlic-infused oil (you can do this by cooking garlic in olive oil, then set aside for a while, then take out the garlic)
2 cups oyster mushrooms, torn
1 leek, sliced
2 pcs bay leaf
1/2 bottle dry French White Wine or Riesling (or any white wine)
1/2 cup fresh chopped dill

Heat oil and cook the bacon. Add the leeks and cook until soft. Add the chicken and brown a bit, before adding the bay leaf, mushrooms, and wine. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30-40 minutes.
Sprinkle with deal when serving.

Nigella mentioned that this meal is best served the day after it's cooked, after it being re-heated over. Too hungry to wait the next day, but this meal tasted really fantastic.
