One-Pan Coq Au Vin

Coq au vin may sound fancy, but it becomes an easy French dinner that anyone can master with this one-pan technique. Everything from the chicken and bacon to the mushrooms and cannellini beans roasts on a single baking sheet. Serve up this chicken stew with mashed potatoes for a cozy Sunday supper or an elegant dinner party.

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

   On a rimmed baking sheet, combine the carrots, shallot, garlic, olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Toss until well coated, then spread in an even layer.
