My own very simple version of the classic French Coq Au Vin. Every once in a while , you are short on time , yet dont want to eat the same old boring food. The chicken needs minumum marination time. Infact by the time you mix the chicken and have fried the onions and mushrooms , the chicken is ready to go in the pan. Garlic bread or plain french bread is great with this chicken. Add in a side of mashed potatoes or frenh fries and Voila , you have a fancy dinner!
