It is usually prepared with bone-in chicken pieces, but we found that boneless chicken thighs work best in the slow cooker. The chicken becomes very tender and will fall apart into pieces for easier serving. The star of the show is the white wine I use, though it can easily be substituted for a more robust Port or Merlot. And if you don't want to use wine, chicken broth tastes just lovely and gives this dish a nice balance. Either way, the chicken comes out tender and the sauce is silky smooth.
