Eating a restricted diet can get really boring, really fast. To avoid meal monotony and keep the tasty meals flowing, I've scoured magazines and cookbooks for health-conscious recipes. First up: Clean Eating Magazine's Coq Au Vin, a classic French dish typically laden with butter. Clean Eating's version removes the calories but keeps the classic taste; each serving is only 289 calories and 3 grams of fat. Part of the modification means removing the bacon, but I promise you won't miss it. I made this recipe for dinner last night, enjoyed leftovers for lunch today (minus the potatoes), and am watching Bryan dig into his as we speak. It's delish!
Coq Au Vin
Adapted from Clean Eating Magazine
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon each sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 2lb boneless, skinless chicken pieces (6 thighs and 3 breasts, halved)
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and sliced into 1/4" thick rounds
- 4 cups quartered Cremini or white mushrooms
- 12 oz. new potatoes, cut into bite size pieces (about 2 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 2 tbsp low sodium tomato paste
- 1 tsp Herbes de Provence or dried thyme
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Add potatoes, broth, wine, tomato paste and herbes; stir to combine. Return chicken and any juices to pan in a single layer, nestling chicken into broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced and potatoes are tender.
Using tongs and a slotted spoon, transfer chicken and vegetables to shallow dinner bowls or plates. Bring sauce to a boil; boil until sauce is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 3-4 minutes. stir in parsley and pour sauce over chicken and vegetables.
Looks perfect! I'll give a whirl...
