Directions
Chicken Casserole or Coq Au Vin, Warning this is a very rich dish! Done with real butter and bacon, but if you want to indulge once in a while this is the meal to try! The original French coq au vin was made without the potatoes and carrots and stewed in a pot on top of the stove The coq was usually a tough old rooster and needed lots of cooking time to come out tender enough to eat!, This was delicious I made it for Saturday night supper and my partner, while not an avid casserole fan, absolutely loved this He even went back for seconds! The sauce was delicious and the inclusion of bacon helped to flavour the casserole beautifully In future I will add a touch more wine (just for personal taste), and perhaps a bit of thyme to compliment the chicken I will also cut the carrots and potatoes into smaller cubes next time as after an hour in the oven they were still a little bit crunchy We will make this recipe again and again Thank you for sharing!
