Introduce the recipe as Crockpot Chicken Stew with White Wine, an easy version of Coq Au Vin.

State that traditional Coq Au Vin uses red wine, but the creator prefers white wine.

List the ingredients needed for the recipe.

Chop the chicken breasts into small pieces and season with about 3/4 teaspoon of salt.

Coat the chicken pieces with the all purpose flour and set aside.

Melt the unsalted butter in a large frying pan.

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and brown them slightly, about until they are just golden.

While the chicken is browning, chop the mushrooms, slice the carrots, and chop the onion and garlic, placing them in a bowl.

Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the pan and set aside.

Add the chopped vegetables to the same pan and cook on medium to medium-low heat for about 7 to 10 minutes until softened.

Transfer the browned chicken and softened vegetables into the slow cooker.

Pour in the chicken broth and 1 cup of white wine into the slow cooker.

Add a splash of Brandy and 1/4 teaspoon of powdered thyme to the slow cooker, then mix everything together.

Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook for 6 to 7 hours.
