Crock-pot chicken cacciatore
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 1 Onion medium; sliced
- 1 Celery stalk w/leaves - cut in 1-inch pieces
- 2 cn Tomato paste; 6 oz. each - 1 can w/garlic
- 1/2 c Chianti; or any wine
- 1/4 ts Pepper
- 1 ts Creole seasoning
- 1 Bay leaf
- 6 Mushrooms large; sliced
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1/2 ts Basil
- 2 ts Oregano
- 1 Chicken
Instructions:
whole about 3 lbs. Place sliced onion in bottom of crock-pot. Add chicken -- you can either use a whole chicken or chop it up in pieces. Stir together tomato paste (as indicated I used 1 can of "regular" tomato paste and 1 can with garlic) creole seasoning (I used Konriko brand) pepper garlic herbs and 1/4 cup of wine. I went against tradition and used a red wine. I like the way reds blend with tomato sauces. In this case I used a light Chianti. Pour over chicken. Pour remaining wine over chicken as well. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 9 hours (HIGH 3 to 4 hours). Serve chicken over hot buttered spaghetti vermicelli fettucini or other pasta.
