Try our twist on classic coq au vin: slow cooker white wine chicken. Turn leftovers into a delicious pasta dish by shredding the chicken and mixing with cooked pasta.
Ingredients:
  • 20g butter
  • 1.2kg chicken thigh fillets, fat trimmed
  • 200g speck, cut into batons
  • 4 large French shallots, peeled, halved
  • 200g cup mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 250ml (1 cup) white wine
  • 310ml (1 1/4 cup) Chicken Style Liquid Stock
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • 15.00 gm cornflour
  • Fresh continental parsley leaves, to serve
  • Mashed potato or crusty bread, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over high heat, melt the butter until it turns foamy and spray it with oil to prevent burning. Sear the chicken in batches for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Place speck and French shallot in a pan, cook and stir frequently for 5 minutes until speck is crisp. Add mushroom, cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add garlic, cook and stir for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to slow cooker using a slotted spoon. Simmer wine in the pan for 3 minutes until slightly reduced. Add wine to slow cooker along with stock, thyme, and bay leaves. Cook on Low for 3 hours or until chicken is tender.
  • Mix the cornflour with water and pour it into the slow cooker. Cook covered for 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to perfection.
  • Garnish the coq au vin with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or bread on the side, if preferred.
