CROCK-POT COQ AU VIN
My family eats mostly chicken, fish and pork. I like to cook a wide variation of different ideas so that we don't always have the same old thing. One of our favorite dishes is Coq au vin but it can get a little warm cooking this specific dish over the stove. The crock-pot saves time and is so easy which makes it much more...

COQ AU VIN IN A CROCK POT!
I like to cook Coq Au Vin in the traditional way when I have time however, that takes days. I have played with it and I think this crock pot version is a great alternative and you can cook Coq Au Vin on a busy weeknight. I have used boneless skinless thighs in place of the chicken legs with thighs. The soup base is not boullion (too salty). This is similar to demiglace and beef or veal can be used.

CROCK POT COQ AU VIN
Got this recipe from my SIL's cookbook, "Homemade in Half the Time" by Shea Waggoner. She made it first, but without the mushrooms because she hates them, and using chicken breasts & cooking wine, which made it sooo salty, but it was still good. So I made it, with mushrooms (baby bella, cuz cremini weren't available), skinless, boneless thighs and using Pinot Noir for the red wine. I was out of bacon, so made it without, and I used fresh minced garlic in place of the jarred. Sooooo good (and easy)!!! DH ate two big helpings and nearly licked the crock pot clean. ;)
