Lots of garlic and a hint of balsamic vinegar makes a delish crock pot stew. Ingredients:
3 1/2 lbs chicken pieces, 6 pieces, mix of thighs and breasts, skin removed |
1/2 cup dry white wine or 1/2 cup red wine |
3 tablespoons tomato paste |
6 garlic cloves, chopped |
1 teaspoon basil |
1 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
0.5 (750 g) package frozen green beans |
5 plum tomatoes or 4 regular tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices |
Directions:
1. Place the chicken in a 5 or 6-quart crock pot. Combine the wine, tomato paste, garlic, basil, oregano and salt in a small bowl; pour over chicken. Add the chicken broth, reserving 1/4 cup of it. Cover and cook until the chicken is tender, 4-5 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low. Cover and refrigerate the remaining chicken broth.
2. About 40 minutes before the cooking time is up, wisk the reserved chicken broth , the vinegar, and flour in a small cup until smooth. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the liquid in the crock pot without disturbing the chicken. Add the beans and sliced tomatoes in layers. Cover and cook on high until the mixture simmers and the beans are tender, about 35 minutes.
3. Serve over egg noodles or rice.
