No Tomato Chicken Cacciatori

I like to use the slow cooker to make this.
No tomatoes in this chicken cacciatori, just
garden fresh tender cooked vegetables.
In this recipe I used chicken drumsticks but
any fresh chicken parts will be great tasting.

Ingredients:
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup sliced celery stalk
1 cup peeled and chopped carrot
2 medium onions, peeled and cut into wedges
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1, yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 red sweet pepper, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
12 chicken drumsticks, skinned (about 3-1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Hot cooked pasta or rice

Directions:
Combine mushrooms, celery, carrot, onions, peppers,
and garlic in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker.
Place chicken on vegetables. Combine broth,
white wine, tapioca, sugar, oregano, bay leaves,
salt, and pepper; pour over chicken.
Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 7 hours
or on high-heat setting for 3 to 3-1/2 hours.
Remove chicken; cover to keep warm.
Remove and discard bay leaves.
Serve alond with cooked pasta or rice
