For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry red wine to the sauce while it simmers in the skillet. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For extra flavor, brown some Italian sausage and add it to the slow cooker along with the chicken.
