Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: > 5 hrs
Ingredients:
4 chicken leg quarters
1/2 cup chicken stock, white vermouth, or water
2 bay leaves
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cans (16 ounce size) tomato sauce
1 can (16 ounce size) stewed tomatoes
1 can (16 ounce size) tomato puree
2 ribs celery, sliced, optional
herbs and spices to taste*
hot cooked spaghetti pasta
Directions:
* Add a teaspoon to a tablespoon of any or all of the following: onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper (cayenne), white pepper, basil, parsley, paprika, oregano, spaghetti seasoning.
Put the chicken into a crock pot early in the day. It's fine if they are still frozen. Add as little liquid as possible. Water, chicken stock, or a bit of white vermouth, or a combination works fine. Add a couple of bay leaves, and some salt.
Turn the crock pot on low and go to work (or carry on your normal day's activities). When you get home, or in the evening, turn off the crock pot. Put water on to boil the spaghetti. Remove chicken from the crock pot and discard skin and bones.
In a deep pot, heat olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook until the onions are clear. Add tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, tomato puree, the chicken and about a cup of the chicken broth from the crock pot. (If you add too much broth, the sauce will be too soupy; if you add too little, the chicken taste will be a bit weak.)
Stir, cutting up the whole tomatoes. Add celery, onion powder, garlic powder, peppers, basil, parsley, paprika, and oregano. Cook, stirring from time to time, while the water for the spaghetti comes to a boil. Cook spaghetti, drain and serve with grated Parmesan cheese on the side.
