Coq Au Vin Slow Cooker Style

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
• 4 slices bacon
• 3 cups red wine
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 3 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2 sprigs rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook chicken breasts in hot oil until browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer browned chicken to a slow cooker.

Cook bacon in the same skillet, turning occasionally, over medium-heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to the slow cooker.

Stir red wine, chicken stock, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker.

Cook chicken mixture in the slow cooker set to Low until chicken is tender, 4 to 5 hours.
