Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken

Recipe Description

Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken is another one of my famous slow cooker recipes. I love leaving the house in the morning knowing that when I return there will be a mouthwatering slow cooked chicken dinner waiting when I get home!

To make this, simply fry some bacon until it is crisp. Then cook onions, garlic, thyme, fennel seeds, pepper and bay leaf. Add wine and tomatoes to make a sauce and then place everything in the slow cooker and cook until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone. Cooking times vary but it will take about 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low. Enjoy!

*famous in my house at least!
