Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Onion, medium -- sliced
1 Celery stalk w/leaves
- cut in 1-inch pieces
2 cn Tomato paste -- 6 oz. each
- 1 can w/garlic
1/2 c Chianti -- or any wine
1/4 ts Pepper
1 t Creole seasoning
1 Bay leaf
6 Mushrooms, large -- sliced
3 Garlic cloves
1/2 ts Basil
2 ts Oregano
1 Chicken, whole, about 3 lbs.

Place sliced onion in bottom of crock-pot. 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 1/4 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.
