How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Step
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.
3. Step
Arrange the bacon and chicken thighs on top of the carrots and season the chicken with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Drizzle with ¼ cup (60 ml) of chicken stock. Top with the rosemary and thyme.
4. Step
Roast the chicken and vegetables for 20 minutes.
5. Step
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C). Remove the pan from the oven and add the mushrooms and cannellini beans. Drizzle with the remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) chicken stock and the Pinot Noir.
6. Step
Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the broiler to high and broil for 4–5 minutes, until the bacon and chicken skin are crispy and golden brown.
7. Step
Spoon the coq au vin over the mashed potatoes and serve warm.
