Ingredients

4 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on (approx. 2 lbs or 900g)
4 slices Bacon, chopped (approx. 4 oz or 113g)
1 cup Button mushrooms, quartered (approx. 5 oz or 150g)
1 cup Pearl onions, peeled (approx. 4 oz or 113g)
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 cup Dry red wine (240ml)
1 cup Chicken stock (240ml)
1 tbsp Tomato paste (15ml)
2 sprigs Fresh thyme
1 sprig Fresh rosemary
1 Bay leaf
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1 lb Radishes, trimmed and halved (approx. 450g)
2 tbsp Olive oil (30ml)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear them in the bacon drippings until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pan, add the mushrooms and pearl onions. Sauté until they start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the red wine and chicken stock, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the seared chicken thighs back into the pan. Sprinkle the cooked bacon over the chicken. Add the thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender.
While the chicken is cooking, toss the radishes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven alongside the chicken for 40-45 minutes, or until golden and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the herb sprigs and bay leaf. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the coq au vin hot with the roasted radishes on the side.

Notes

For an even more keto-friendly dish, you can opt for a low-carb red wine or substitute it with additional chicken stock. If you have difficulty finding pearl onions, small shallots cut in half can be used as an alternative. Enjoy your Keto Coq au Vin with the satisfying crunch of roasted radishes for a complete meal!
