Calories: 222kcal
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken thighs and legs Skinless, Bone-in
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
- 1 cup Onion Chopped
- 1 Geen Bell Pepper Chopped
- 8 oz Brown Crimini Mushrooms or Portabello Roughly Chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic Chopped
- 1 can Chopped Tomatoes 14 oz
- 2/3 cup Dry Wine White or Red
- 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning (1 tsp: oregano, basil and thyme)
- 1/3 cup Tomato Paste
- pinch Sugar or Sweetener (Optional)
- 1 inch Parmesan Cheese Rind (Optional)
Instructions
- Put chicken in a slow cooker set to high and cover. Alternatively, you can brown the chicken in a skillet with a little oil and then transfer to the crockpot. You can use the same skillet for cooking the vegetables.Heat olive oil over high heat in a large skillet. Cook the onion and green pepper for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes; add the garlic and cook for another minute.Add the chopped tomatoes, wine, herbs, and more salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the liquid is almost completely boiled away. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. If it tastes harsh or acidic, add just a touch of sweetener (a pinch of sugar or one drop of Sweetzfree can do the trick).Add the tomato paste and Parmesan cheese rind, if using, and stir to combine. Place chicken in the slow cooker and spoon tomato mixture on the top of the chicken. Cook for 3 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low. About 30 minutes before you are ready to eat, check and adjust seasonings one more time.
