White Wine Chicken Thighs

This is my own little twist on coq au vin, a traditional French recipe.  The nutritional value of this recipe is approximately 211 calories per serving.  Please note that I have doubled the recipe in my kitchen (and photos).  I encourage you to add more mushrooms (or less), it's a matter of preference.  In addition, if you take away the bacon, you save yourself approximately 22 calories per serving.  I serve my White Wine Chicken Thighs with 1/2 cup of rice and 1 cup of steamed broccoli.  This super easy recipe produces a gourmet taste, my family couldn't get enough.
