    1                    Onion, medium -- sliced
    1                    Celery stalk w/leaves
                         - cut in 1-inch pieces
    2       cn           Tomato paste -- 6 oz. each
                         - 1 can w/garlic
      1/2   c            Chianti -- or any wine
      1/4   ts           Pepper
    1       t            Creole seasoning
    1                    Bay leaf
    6                    Mushrooms, large -- sliced
    3                    Garlic cloves
      1/2   ts           Basil
    2       ts           Oregano
    1                    Chicken, whole, about 3 lbs.
 
   Place sliced onion in bottom of crock-pot.  Add
   chicken -- you can either use a whole chicken or chop
   it up in pieces. Stir together tomato paste (as
   indicated, I used 1 can of "regular" tomato paste and
   1 can with garlic), creole seasoning (I used Konriko
   brand), pepper, garlic, herbs, and 1/4 cup of wine.  I
   went against "tradition" and used a red wine.  I like
   the way reds blend with tomato sauces.  In this case,
   I used a light Chianti.  Pour over chicken.  Pour
   remaining wine over chicken as well.  Cover and cook
   on LOW for 7 to 9 hours (HIGH 3 to 4 hours).  Serve
   chicken over hot buttered spaghetti, vermicelli,
   fettucini, or other pasta.
