2 cup (16 ounces/453 grams) crushed tomatoes or passata
¼ cup (60 ml) dry white wine or chicken broth
1 cup (75 grams) mushrooms of your choice chopped. This is the measurement of the mushrooms chopped, not whole
1 cup (128 grams) onion sliced
2 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped
3 tablespoons capers drained
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil plus 1 tablespoon more for garnish, chopped
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 bone-in and skinless chicken thighs or breasts

To a 4-quart (3.5 liter) slow cooker add all of the ingredient except the chicken. Stir to mix well.
Add the chicken and make sure they are submerged in the sauce.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 4-5 hours.
If the sauce is too thin due to trapped condensation. You can whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth, then stir it directly into the slow cooker during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking on high. Or, transfer the sauce to a skillet on the stovetop for a few minutes after cooking to let the excess moisture evaporate.
