Smothered Chicken

Smothered Chicken (tomato based)

Ingredients:

8 pieces of chicken (I like using legs and thighs)
2-3 Tbsp. oil
1 yellow onion sliced
2 green and/or red bell peppers sliced
8 oz. of sliced mushrooms
1 14oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 c. flour (seasoned to your liking)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 Tbsp. white or red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

Wash chicken pieces and let drain. Coat pieces with the flour. Shake off excess. Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Brown chicken pieces for 5 minutes on each side. Set aside to drain. Leave grease in skillet for sautéing the veggies. Spray 5-6 qt. crock pot with cooking spray. Lay chicken on bottom of crockpot. Saute onions, bell peppers, mushrooms in skillet for 5 minutes. Transfer to crock pot (pour over chicken). Add remaining ingredients to crockpot and cover. Cook on LOW heat 7-8 hours. Serve however you like. We had ours over cooked angel hair pasta but you can replace it with cooked rice.

*Note: I may share my recipe of smothered chicken without tomatoes at a later time.
