Herbed Chicken and Veggies
Ingredients
- 12 ounces mushrooms halved
- 1 1/2 cups frozen pearl onions
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth divided
- 1/3 cup dry red wine or use red grape juice with a splash of cider vinegar

- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary crushed
- 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme crushed
- 1/3 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 6 small chicken legs skinned, drumsticks and thighs
- 2 tablespoons flour
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine mushrooms and pearl onions.
