Red Wine With Braised Chicken

"This riff on the classic French coq au vin is a one-pot wonder that comes together almost effortlessly and leaves plenty of room for improvisation. After all, the halmark of French country cooking is making use of whatever is on hand. You begin with a sauté of garlic, onions, and traditional seasonings. Red wine and chicken broth are added to form the braising liquid, but white wine could be substituted. If you use white wine, consider also adding minced jarred jalapeno peppers or a pinch of chili powder. Serve this brightly colored chicken with heaps of rice to soak up the juice."
