To burn it off
Coq au vin is chicken braised slowly in red wine with lardons, mushrooms and little onions. It comes from Burgundy, and in France it's more of a Sunday or guests dish than a Tuesday one.
A plate is 550 kcal, with 48 g of protein, 32 g of fat and only 12 g of carbs. That's a lot of protein for a plate that tastes this rich.
The number is for the chicken and its sauce. The potatoes, the pasta or the baguette for mopping up are extra, so count them on their own.
Tips
- 1Take the skin off the chicken, that's where much of the fat sits.
- 2Have it with boiled potatoes or green beans rather than buttered noodles.
- 3Mop up the sauce with one piece of bread, not half the baguette.
