Ingredients

  • 8 ounce mushrooms, halved

  • 1 cup frozen pearl onions

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ¼ cup dry red wine

  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste

  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt

  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 4 small chicken legs (drumstick-thigh portion; skinned) (2 to 2-1/2 pounds total)

  • Chicken broth (optional)

  • ¼ cup chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • Hot cooked mashed potatoes (optional)

  • Fresh parsley sprigs (optional)

Directions

  1. In a 5-1/2- or 6-quart slow cooker, combine mushrooms and pearl onions. Stir in the 1/2 cup broth, the wine, tomato paste, garlic salt, rosemary, thyme, pepper, and bay leaf. Add chicken legs to cooker.

  2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 7 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3-1/2 to 4 hours.

  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken and vegetables to a serving platter. Discard bay leaf. Cover chicken and vegetables and keep warm.

For sauce:

  1. Skim fat from cooking liquid. Measure 2 cups of the cooking liquid, adding additional chicken broth, if necessary, to equal 2 cups total liquid. Transfer liquid to a medium saucepan. In a small bowl, stir the 1/4 cup broth into the flour; stir into liquid in saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; cook and stir for 1 minute more. Spoon some of the sauce over chicken. Pass remaining sauce. If desired, serve with mashed potatoes and garnish with parsley. Makes 4 servings.
