Thank goodness for crock-pots; my oldest boy and his wife had indicated that they would come in time for dinner last night. I was also going to be taking care of their nearly 2-year old granddaughter for the day while they worked. I ran to the store and picked up a whole chicken so that dinner would at least be tasty and easy.
I looked up chicken in the little crock-pot's cookbook and found a couple of recipes that looked good so decided to combine them making a sort of Coq-au-Vin. I was so glad that I'd chosen to do a crock-pot dish, the chicken fell off the bone and was so moist, plus I was able to spend the afternoon chasing after my granddaughter.
Chris's Version of Coq-au-Vin
1 whole Chicken
2 chopped up carrots
several chopped ribs of celery
3 or 4 cloves of garlic chopped
5 small potatoes cut into bite size pieces
1 C of sliced mushrooms, I used crimi and white.
¼ to ½ C red wine, I used Indian Creek “Pinot Noir”
You are suppose to put in chopped onion but I forgot. I put the chicken in the pot then put the veges all around the chicken. If your pot is small then put the veges in 1st and then add the chicken. Grind some pepper on the whole thing and you can add salt, I rarely add salt and didn't here. Then pour in some wine Cook on high for 4 hours.
