Steps:
- In 5-quart Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium-high heat 7 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until bacon is browned and crisp. With slotted spoon, remove bacon to 5- or 6-quart slow cooker.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add half of the chicken to bacon drippings in Dutch oven; cook 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove chicken to slow cooker with bacon. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to Dutch oven; stir in onion, carrots and mushrooms. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until onion is tender and mushroom juices have released. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds.
- Add wine; heat to boiling, scraping bottom to release any brown bits. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until wine is reduced by half. Transfer mixture to slow cooker. Stir in chicken broth, thyme and bay leaf. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 to 5 hours or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- In small bowl, mix flour and water; stir into slow cooker. Cover; cook on High heat setting 20 to 25 minutes or until thickened. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Discard bay leaf. Garnish with parsley. Serve with mashed potatoes.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN WITH 20 CLOVES OF GARLIC
This weeknight-friendly version of the French classic - chicken with 40 cloves of garlic - has half the amount of garlic, because a slow cooker doesn't get quite hot enough to mellow out 40 whole cloves. This dish cooks on high for three hours, but you can lengthen the cook time to six hours using the low heat setting. In that case, cut the garlic further to 15 cloves, because it may taste a bit stronger when cooked at that lower temperature. The beans end up pleasantly soupy, in a sauce rich with chicken juices and wine. The herbs stirred in at the end impart a welcome freshness. This is best served in shallow bowls, with good bread on the side.

Steps:
- Combine the beans, garlic, wine, oil, vinegar, thyme and red-pepper flakes in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper. Season the chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper, then nestle them in an even layer on top of the beans, skin-side up. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
- Line a sheet pan with foil and heat a broiler. Using tongs, remove the chicken thighs from the slow cooker, place them on the foil, skin-side up, and broil for 2 to 4 minutes, rotating once, until the chicken skin is golden and caramelized in spots.
- Stir the lemon juice, scallions and parsley into the beans. Serve the beans in bowls, and top with the chicken.

Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary and garlic for the best flavor. Dried herbs can be used, but they will not be as flavorful.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and the vegetables.
- Place the chicken on a bed of vegetables in the slow cooker. This will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from sticking to the pot.
- Add a cup of chicken broth to the slow cooker. This will help to create a flavorful sauce for the chicken and vegetables.
- Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or until it is cooked through. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken with the vegetables and sauce from the slow cooker.
