Ingredients
- 4 slices center cut bacon (chopped)
- 4 medium carrots (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 4 cups mushrooms (halved (button or baby bella work best))
- 2 cups onion (cut into 1-2” pieces (alternatively, pearl onions work great but require a lot of work to peel))
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons flour (or gluten-free flour)
- ½ cup dry red wine (Pinot Noir, Chianti, or Burgundy)
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 large bone-in chicken thighs (skin removed (or boneless works))
- 4 bone-in chicken drumsticks (skin removed)
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 dry bay leaf
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Steps
-
Combine red wine, chicken broth and tomato paste in a pourable measuring cup and set aside.
-
In a heavy bottom pan, render bacon until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to set aside for garnish and add mushrooms and carrots to the bacon fat. Once the mushrooms release some liquid, about 3-4 minutes, add onion and garlic. Cook until aromatic, about 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Lower heat and add flour and mix until all the vegetables are coated in flour. Add the reserved wine mixture and bring to a boil. Boil 1-2 minutes to reduce then transfer everything to a slow cooker.
-
Nestle chicken into the slow cooker with the veggies. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Place rosemary, thyme & bay leaf on top.
-
Close very tightly and cook on high setting for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
-
To serve, place 1 chicken thigh and drumstick in each bowl, and top with vegetables and broth. Sprinkle with bacon and parsley.
