"This is great easy crock pot recipe. Personally, I do prefer to use the bone in skinless thighs for this recipe; because I really think the bone adds a lot of flavor. Also, you could a couple of bone in skinless breasts; however, would cut them in 2-3 pieces similar to the size of the thighs. The combination of the white and dark meat would make for a nice flavor. It is basically just "a drop and turn on" recipe - it's that easy. I prefer to serve this over yellow rice, but many people enjoy serving this over pasta. Just add a nice salad when you come home; and dinner is on the table."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Chicken and Vegetables ... Add the chicken pieces, onion, peppers, celery, carrots, garlic, and tomatoes to the crock pot and mix to combine.

Step 2

Sauce ... In a bowl, add the tomato paste, broth, wine, seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and mix well. Pour over the chicken and vegetables and mix to make sure everything is coated in the sauce. Add the bay leaf, and push it down in the sauce. Finish by adding the mushroom and olive on top, but do not mix in.

Step 3

Cook ... Cover, and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours. Please remember all crock pots cook differently. I use my oval crock pot, and 6 hrs is usually the time it takes; but just be aware of that. About 30 minutes before serving. Stir everything together - especially those mushrooms and olives which started out on top; and check for any additional seasoning (salt and pepper). Cover and cook another 15-30 minutes. This will give you time to make some rice or pasta to serve with the chicken.

Step 4

Serve ... Stir in the parsley right before serving and serve over rice or pasta. As I said, I like yellow rice; but pasta is equally as good. Make a salad and ENJOY!
