Coq au Vin
This classic French chicken dish has been given a healthy makeover but still has a rich, deep flavour. Made by Fitness Meal Planner, coq au vin is a classic French stew in which chicken is braised slowly in red wine and a little brandy to yield a supremely rich sauce filled with tender meat, mushrooms and burnished pearl onions.
