- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chopped canned tomatoes or 1 cup fresh tomato
- 1⁄2 cup tomato puree
- orange zest

directions
- Make the rouille: In a blender or food processor, finely chop the peppers and garlic. Add the mayonnaise, oil, lemon juice and cayenne and process until smooth. Store the sauce in a covered jar in the refrigerator.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until tender and golden, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Pour the mixture into a large slow cooker. Stir in the tomato, puree, orange zest, saffron and fennel.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the pieces in the slow cooker, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low 6 hours or until the chicken is tender and coming away from the bone.
- Serve the chicken and sauce in shallow bowls with the toast and Rouille.

Easy to prep and make - make like a "stew dish".<br/>Flavors were a bit bland and one note but filling none the less. <br/>Served it with white rice. <br/>I added a splash of Worcestershire sauce and some baby carrots and celery as we like some veg. <br/>I skipped the rouille as I did not think it was necessary. <br/><br/>Thanks for posting.
