Recipe - Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore

1 Onion, medium; cut or sliced up
1 Celery stalk w/leaves
cut in 1inch pieces
2 cn Tomato paste; 6 oz. each
1 can w/garlic
One half cup Chianti; or any wine
One fourth teaspoon Pepper
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1 Bay leaf
6 Mushrooms, large; cut or sliced up
3 Garlic cloves
One half teaspoon Basil
2 teaspoon Oregano
1 Chicken, whole, about 3 lbs.

Place cut or sliced up onion in bottom of crockpot. 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 One fourth 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.
