Chicken Cacciatore in the Slow Cooker

If you're not already aware, I love using my crock pot.  Thank you, Simply in Season, for another great use of my slow cooker.  I thought it needed a little extra salt, but was otherwise a tasty full-meal-deal in a bowl.  

2-3 pounds of whatever form of boneless/skinless chicken you want to use

4 cups tomatoes, chopped

1 bell pepper (color doesn't matter), cut into strips

2 onions, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bay leaf

1 tsp. salt

1 Tbsp. fresh oregano, chopped, or 1 tsp. dried

1 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped, or 1 tsp. dried

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/4 cup white wine (optional)

1 cup mushrooms, chopped (optional)

Combine in slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 8 hours.  Serve over pasta or noodles.
