Slow Cooker Paleo Coq Au Vin Recipe

On one trip to Paris we were lucky enough to spend a day studying privately with Chef Marie-Blance de Broglie. We made a traditional coq au vin, and she taught us about French cooking methods and much more about French culinary traditions, with valuable tips on entertaining à la Française. While we say au revoir to the flour in her traditional coq au vin, we have miraculously altered it so that we can still enjoy this hearty chicken stew.
