Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken -- Crock Pot image

From EatingWell Magazine: January/February 2011 -- Chicken thighs cook in a simple herb-infused tomato-and-wine sauce. The bone-in thighs give it plenty of hearty flavor, and because you cook them without the skin, it keeps the dish healthy. There's plenty of sauce, so serve it over noodles or rice.

I've made this dish with both white and dark meat chicken and it's always delicious. The dark meat chicken is a little more flavorful, but the white meat chicken is also very good.
