Big hit for holiday "pot luck" parties. I double it and make in my Le Creuset but depending on the size of your crockpot, you could increase the ingredients.....

Coq au Vin
Makes: 6 servings
Prep 35 mins
Slow Cook 5 to 5-1/2 hours (low) or 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 hours (high)

1 8 ounce package fresh mushrooms, halved (or quartered if large)
4 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 1/2 cups frozen pearl onions
Nonstick cooking spray
5 - 6 large chicken thighs, skin removed (2-1/4 to 2-1/2 pounds total)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons tapioca
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons herbs de Provence
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons snipped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

Add chicken thighs to skillet, meaty sides down. Cook about 6 minutes or until brown, turning once. Add chicken to cooker.

It felt like Fall today so I broke open the new crock pot. I made Italian Stuffed Peppers. Rice, mild Italian sausage, tomatoes, onions, garlic, oregano, basil, salt and pepper for the stuffing. Topped with provolone and a marinara sauce.
