Steps

9 hr 30 min

1

Preheat the slow cooker if necessary - see manufacturer's instructions.
2

Melt the butter in a large frying pan and fry the chicken and bacon until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3

Add the garlic and onions to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the flour.
4

Pour in the wine and bring to the boil, stirring. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5

Put the mushrooms into the slow cooker pot and lay the chicken and bacon on top. Pour over the hot wine mixture.
6

Add enough chicken stock to completely cover the chicken. Add the bouquet garni, making sure it is covered by the liquid.
7

Cover and cook on low for 8 - 9 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Discard the bouquet garni before serving.
