Total Time: 8 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients

• 12 baby carrots
• 2 onions, sliced
• 3 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 (3 -4 lb) whole chickens
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 3/4 cup wine
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
• 12 baby portabella mushrooms

Recipe

• 1 put carrots, onions, and celery in bottom of crock pot. add whole chicken and mushrooms. top with salt, pepper, and liquid. (you don’t have to be exact about the liquids – but if you cook this on high, you should use 2 cups liquid.) sprinkle basil on top.
• 2 cover; cook on low 8 to 9 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours. (i usually just put it on around 8am and by 4pm, it’s cooked and i turn the crock pot to warm.)
• 3 to test, when the chicken falls off the bone, it’s done!
• 4 boil egg noodles in chicken broth. do not drain noodles. when ready to serve, i put the egg noodles/broth in a bowl and add the chicken soup on top of that.
• 5 it makes a nice combination. use salt/pepper to taste. you can also debone the chicken before serving if you don’t want folks to have to dig out the bones!
