Enjoying The Best Recipes from France

We went to France 5 years ago now (feels like yesterday) and the food was the best part. We stayed in Lyon for most of our time in France, and also traveled around Switzerland too. And let me tell you, we still dream about the little French bistros in Vieux Lyon.

There was one in particular we loved, called Le Un Deux Trois which was hands down the best!  In our week in France we tried new restaurants every day… but we went back to Le Un Deux Trois multiple times it was SO good. 

Ever since that trip, I love making gluten free French recipes at home like this amazing coq au vin.

I stock up on healthy pantry staples with Thrive Market  – they have a fantastic selection of organic pantry items, natural beauty & home products, and great foods for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can save 30% off your first order, and get a $60 free gift by signing up.

• A whole 3 to 4 lb chicken, cut into 8 parts
• Red Wine – make sure you get one that is certified gluten free.
• Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s inexpensive so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry.  For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
• Onion
• Carrots
• Potatoes
• Chicken Stock: if you can, homemade chicken stock is the way to go… if you can’t, then I’d recommend this great organic variety!
• Bay Leaves: I always add bay leaves to every bean soup I make… it gives the soup a je ne sais quoi which is savory and delicious! When I lived in California I had laurel bay trees in my backyard, and I used to pick the dried leaves… now I buy these online 🙂
• Herbes de Provence: my favorite spice blend! This French blend has a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.
• Gluten Free Flour: this fantastic gluten free flour acts as a thickening agent (like a roux) in this chicken dish.

Equipment

• Dutch Oven

Ingredients

  

• 1 3 to 4 lb chicken cut into 8 parts
• 2 cups red wine
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 sweet onion sliced
• 4 carrots sliced diagonally
• 6 potatoes diced
• 1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground Tellicherry Black Pepper
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
• 3 tablespoons flour

Instructions

 

• In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil. Place the chicken skin-side down and cook on each side until brown (about 5 minutes per side). Remove chicken from pot, and place on a plate to set aside.
• In the pot, sauté the onion, carrots, and potatoes for 7 or 8 minutes over medium low heat. Onions should be softened and starting to brown. Add salt, pepper, chicken stock, bay leaves, herbs de Provence, and red wine. Bring to a boil, and place chicken back into the pot. Make sure the chicken is fully covered by wine and chicken stock. Simmer with 30 minutes with the lid on, then remove lid and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
• If sauce needs thickening, whisk the gluten free flour into the sauce and allow to cook for an additional 10 minutes.
• Discard the bay leaves, and serve over rice or pasta, or with a side of au gratin potatoes.
