Preparation

Step 1

- Use a large crockpot
- Cook on high for 3 hours; low on 2 hours (chicken requires less cooking time)
1. Lay uncooked meat at bottom of crock pot
2. Add remaining ingridients; reserving wine last hour of cooking and , fresh parsley and basil for end of cooking

Variations:
- Add chopped brocolli, zuchinni, and/or red pepper
- Can substitute 2 oz of balsalmic vinegar for red wine
- Add 1 can Fresca soda to chicken stew; eliminate wine and reduce chick broth to 1 cup

Notes: The stew seems more flavorful if the potatoes are pre-cooked and not added until the end. Boil potatoes with skin; when soft, peel skin and cube. Add to stew during last hour of cooking.
