This is a perfect, cozy dish for March when the winter temperatures are still lingering and spring hasn’t made its arrival yet. Every year I remember that March is still quite cold, and warming dinners like this 30 minute Coq au Vin are very much welcome.
Coq au vin is a classic French dinner of chicken and vegetables braised slowly in red wine, and it’s delicious. This version is speedy, without sacrificing flavor, and is much lighter than the traditional method. It’s the sort of recipe that tastes like you’ve been cooking all day, but comes together quickly. No one will ever guess.
“WHAT ELSE CAN I USE?”
I love dark meat chicken but if you are one of those people that does not, swap in chicken breasts. They will be done a few minutes prior to the thighs, so adjust cooking time by 5-10 minutes.
Vegetable or chicken stock can be used in here interchangeably.
I always keep parmesan rinds in my freezer once a wedge is finished for dishes like this, but if you don’t have one then you can add a chunk of parmesan or simply leave it out.
This easy, impressive dish makes a perfect dish for a dinner party (when we are all doing that again!) but is easy enough for any weeknight. Enjoy!

All of the comforting, savory goodness of the classic French chicken dish, Coq au vin, but in under 30 minutes.
You have been asking for a cobb salad for months, and months, and months, and I knew it was time to oblige with this Chicken Cobb Salad with Pepperoncini Vinaigrette
I don’t remember the last time I made dinner and both of my kids asked for second helpings… Well, actually yes I do, it was my Healthy Baked Chicken Parmesan. They can’t get enough of it, and Michael and I love it too, so it’s a no-brainer dinner in our house.

Made this last night for dinner with a friend, the meat was so tender and moist; the meal was packed with flavor. Less than an hour from start to finish! I will definitely make often .
