coq au vin grilled cheese

Coq au Vin Grilled Cheese is a delicious smash-up of two classic meals. Chicken braised in wine and sandwiched between two golden pieces of bread topped with melted cheese, make this sandwich a must-make!

At the moment, I am on a bit of a Netflix series roll.

First, Mr. B and I conquered watching Making a Murderer like it was our job. Second, we are in the process of watching Master of None staring Aziz Ansari, which is effing hysterical. Lastly, we are crack addicted to Narcos about the rise and fall of Colombian drug lord, Pablo Escobar.

Who knew Netflix would have such a comeback? I swore them off a couple of years ago and jumped ship to Amazon Prime (because hello, two-day shipping, right?), but let me tell you, Netflix is kicking ass and taking names in the TV series department right now. I guess we will see how long this will last, but for now, I am HOOKED.

And do you know what else I am hooked on? I may have a slight obsession with Coq au Vin. Let me know your thoughts, but I feel like this is an okay addiction? I mean this traditional French dish is made up of chicken, wine, bacon, and lots of hearty herbs like rosemary and thyme. So, it’s really good for you, right?

Well, I say, oui! You may have seen my coq au vin skillet pizza that I posted right before the holidays. Seriously, you guys have to make this bad boy.#lifechanging. This pizza got me thinking, what other ways can I make a twist on coq au vin? Thus, the Coq au Vin Grilled Cheese was born. I think I was craving something warm and hearty that had nothing do with rabbit food.

Once you sink your mouth into this gooey, wine-infused chicken and bacon sandwich you might never eat another grilled cheese again. If you eat this Coq au Vin Grilled Cheese while watching Narcos you may never leave the couch again. #firstworldproblems
