Crock Pot Coq Au Vin

The amount of prep it took for this recipe is well worth it when you are done. I used boneless skinless chicken tenders (they're about 1.5" wide and 5" to 6" long) and cut them in thirds. Probably didn't need to do even that since the chicken we so tender after being cooked the pieces fell apart while serving. I used nearly all of the Burgandy (only about 1/2 cup left) and it made a lot of the wonderful gravy. The only thing I didn't like as much was the mushrooms were pretty salty since they were done in the bacon grease. Next time I will do in butter. May also use turkey bacon next time. Will definately make again!

This took a fair amount of prep work before getting everything into the crock pot. The end result was something special and worth the extra effort. Moist chicken, incredible flavor, rustic look but something I would serve guests. Thanks for sharing this.

This was a superb dish! I used bonless/skinless chicken. If you go that route don't over work yourself by cutting the chicken into pieces - talk about a pain in the neck! The chicken falls apart beautifully on its own :) DH can't stand onions, but these pearl onions won his heart, they are definitely the star of the show. Instead of measuring the Burgandy wine, I just poured it over the chicken. Big mistake! I ended up not having enough marinade. Ooops! Don't do this at home kids ;) We served this over brown rice and topped it with some hot sauce (cause we simply can't get enough. Ha!). Will definitely be making this again!

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved. Apart from omitting the tomato paste (personal taste preference) and using some of MarraMamba's The Simplest Tomato Sauce Ever (Marcella Hazan) 273976 in its place, and doubling the garlic, I made this exactly to the recipe. Simple to make and a great end result. Loved the wine in this recipe. An enthusiastic response from those who ate it. Made for New Zaar Stars Tag. Thanks for sharing this recipe, mikekey!

Outstanding! Although it was a little more work than I usually like to do for a crock pot dish it was well worth it! The flavor in this is amazing. I will definitely be making this dish again, thanks Mike!

What's not to like about red wine, chicken and veggies?! I used chicken breasts, turkey bacon, extra veggies, and included new potatoes. I had to sub a quartered onion, since I couldn't find pearl onions (fresh or frozen) at the store where I was shopping.

I made this as written using chicken thighs. It made a very tasty stew. Next time I'll use skinless chicken.

I had made Coq Au Vin before but this was the first time in a crockpot. Do not try to reduce the fat in this dish by omitting the bacon because to me, it just makes the dish. This is easy enough for every day but the taste is wonderful enough to serve to company or on a special occasion.

This dish was approved of by three generations of eaters...that's 5 stars in my book! I followed the easy directions exactly except for one small detail...our power was out because of a bad storm and I used my propane range top to cook the stew on low for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I did dust the chicken thighs with a bit of seasoned flour before browning them, hoping it would thicken the sauce a bit, which it did. The chicken was very tender, and the flavor of the sauce was outstanding. My daughter wants the recipe since finding something that the whole family enjoys, especially picky toddlers is rare. We will be making this dish often!
