QUICK COQ AU VIN
with purple sprouting broccoli
Main
Serves 2
50 min
A richly comforting and delicious dish of herb-infused chicken, served with seasonal purple sprouting broccoli. This version is inspired by the celebrated classic French original, as you're not marinating the chicken in red wine overnight, but it's a good quick variation, ideal for weeknight cooking.
Cook's notes
If you have the time or the inclination, there's nothing to stop you from marinating the chicken for longer. You can also thicken and intensify the flavour of the sauce by removing the chicken and veg and boiling the sauce to reduce it down further.
