Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
4 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp herbs de provence
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper corns
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 c white wine
1 c chicken stock
14 oz diced tomatoes, with juice
14 oz artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
3 lb skinless bone in chicken thighs (around 8)
basil to taste

Steps:

1. Heat oil over medium heat, add onion and cook until soft.
2. Add garlic, Herbs de Provence, salt and pepper, cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add flour, stir for 1 minute, add the wine, cook for 1 minute. Add the stock and tomatoes, and bring to a boil.
3. Stir in artichoke hearts, remove from heat.
4. Place chicken thighs in the crock pot, and cover with sauce. Sprinkle with basil.
5. Cook on low for 6 1/2 hours. Chicken will be pretty much falling off the bone at this point. So I remove the chicken from the crock pot, remove the bones from the thighs, and cut / shred the chicken meat, and return to the crock pot. Give a stir to mix in. Delicious served over rice. Enjoy!
