Servings: persons

1 tablespoon rosemary
1 teaspoon thyme
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup red wine
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups button mushrooms sliced
2 cups mushroom mix, oyster, shiitake, baby bella, sliced
2 medium carrots sliced diagonally
1 onion medium, chopped
1 red potato medium, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 cup frozen green beans 1-inch pieces
1/2 can black olives pitted ripe, halved
1 handful grape tomatoes halved
8 chicken thighs with bones and skin. 2-3 lbs
2 stalks celery
3 cups water

1
combine all ingredients in slow cooker (6 quarts). bury chicken in vegetables. don't put herbs directly on chicken (because skin is removed later)
2
add enough broth and water to cover most of ingredients. liquid level rises a good amount during cooking, so careful with filling the slow cooker too much.
3
turn slow cooker on low for 6-7 hours or high 3-4 hours. Note: in my newer Crock-Pot this was enough time, but in my parents' older Crock-Pot 7 hours on low was not enough (don't know how long would be good. we left the veggies a little tough).
4
pull out all chicken.
5
skim off fat from top with spoon
6
pull off skin and remove bones from chicken. shred and return to soup.
