This classic French dish of chicken and red wine is one of those dishes that can often come off as overly complicated and too fancy to be practical. On the contrary, this longstanding 'king' of chicken dinners is really as simple as it gets, especially when opting to make it in your slow cooker. Simply pour everything into your slow cooker, before you set it and forget it!
The flavors of a classic 'Coq au Vin' (which translates to chicken with wine), consist of sweet onions, carrots, bacon, mushroom, and red wine, which is cooked down around tender chicken thighs until all of the flavors meld to perfection. Enjoy this stunning dish with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and never look back!
