Creamy Coq au Vin Blanc
  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a nonstick pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, Italian seasoning, and garlic; cook until the chicken is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Stir in the mushrooms and tomato; reduce the heat, cover the pot, and cook until the mushrooms are softened, about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.

  3. 3

    Drain the accumulated juices from the chicken-mushroom-tomato mixture into a separate saucepan and transfer the chicken-mushroom-tomato mixture to the prepared baking dish.

  4. 4

    Pour the wine into the saucepan with the juices and bring it to a boil. Add the cream and Gruyere cheese; cook and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until the cornstarch dissolves; mix into the cream sauce until smooth and thickened. Pour the sauce over the chicken-vegetable mixture; top with the onion.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
