Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken thighs
• 2 bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes in puree
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Spray inside slow cooker liner with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place chicken in slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. 
3. Top the chicken with bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms.
4. In a bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes with the remaining ingredients: garlic, red wine vinegar, and oregano. Pour over vegetables.
5. Cover with lid and cook on low for 6 hours.

Notes

If a crispier skin is desired on the chicken before serving, preheat the broiler and prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil spritzed with nonstick cooking spray.

Transfer the cooked chicken thighs to the baking sheet and place under the broiler for 5 to 10 minutes or until desired crispness. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Serve chicken with sauce as is or over spaghetti, mashed potatoes, or riced cauliflower.
