Chicken With Mushrooms And Tomato Crock Pot

In a small household, you are always left with part of a package of something. This recipe was born from my desire to use up things in the fridge. I've done the same on the stove, but this really worked well in the crock pot.

Steps

Pour the spaghetti sauce into a bowl.

Add the herbs and mix.

Season chicken with salt and pepper.

Heat a little olive oil in skillet and brown the chicken well.

Transfer to crock pot.

Pour all but about 2 tablespoons of accumulated fats from skillet , return to medium low heat.

Add the onion and garlic , and cook until soft and just starting to turn color.

Put the onions , garlic and mushrooms over the chicken.

Return skillet to burner.

Pour the wine into the skillet and scrape up all the fond from the skillet.

Pour the wine into the spaghetti sauce and mix.

Pour over the chicken.

Set to low and cook for 4 to 5 hours.

Serve with hot pasta.

I also sometimes add 1 / 4 teaspoons crushed red pepper for some heat.

Sweet bell peppers are a natural , i will also add fresh tomatoes or whatever needs using.

I find commercial sauces salty enough.

Or use chicken broth.
