Description

Coq au vin is a classic French dish that has been around for centuries. It's a rustic, hearty meal that is made with chicken, bacon, mushrooms, garlic, and red wine. This particular recipe is a twist on the traditional version, as it is cooked in a slow cooker or ‘melting pot’. The result is a deliciously rich and flavourful stew that is sure to impress your dinner guests!

Prep Time

Prep time for this recipe is only 15 minutes. You will need to chop the bacon and mushrooms, mince the garlic, and cut the chicken into small pieces. This can all be done in advance, which makes it an ideal meal for a busy weeknight.

Cook Time

The cooking time for this recipe is 8 hours on the low setting of a slow cooker, or 4 hours on the high setting. This means that it can be prepared in advance, and left to cook while you are at work or doing other activities. This makes coq au vin a great meal for those days when you don’t have much time to spend in the kitchen.

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

  3. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours.
  4. Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.

Recipe Tips

This recipe is a great way to use up any leftover red wine that you may have. You can also use white wine if you prefer. If you don’t have any wine on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of chicken broth.

This dish can also be made on the stovetop. Simply follow the same instructions, but cook in a large pot over medium heat for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
