Instructions
In a plastic bag, shake flour with 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and the herbes de Provence; set aside.
In a 5- to 6-qt. pot over medium-high heat, brown bacon, stirring often, 6 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, cut chicken into 1-in. chunks, then shake half at a time in flour to coat.
With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon from pan to paper towels. Brown half the chicken in bacon fat, stirring often, 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding oil to pot. Meanwhile, halve carrots lengthwise and cut celery into diagonal slices. Chop onion.
Add vegetables to pot with remaining 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper and saut until onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, microwave wine and broth until steaming, about 3 minutes.
Add broth mixture, chicken, and bacon to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely chop parsley and tarragon. Stir them into stew.
Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy
Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy are great choices for French. French wine is just as diverse as French food, but you rarely go wrong with champagne. If your meal calls for a white wine, you might also try a white burgundy. For a red, try a red bordeaux blend. The Domaines Barons de Rothschild Reserve Speciale Bordeaux Blanc with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Blend of 60% Semillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc.Crystal-clear straw-yellow color. The nose is powerful and aromatic, with the dominant exotic aromas (citrus, lychees) of Sauvignon Blanc. Full-bodied attack on the palate, developing a lively fresh taste with intense aromas of grapefruit and lime on the finish. Both lively and full of flavor.
