Crock Pot Chicken with Sun Dried Tomatoes

There is something special about the way chicken, wine, tomatoes and Italian herbs combine to make irresistible aromas and get those taste buds tingling.  If you happen to have a jar of sun dried tomatoes in the fridge then try this delicious recipe.  This is a recipe that works well with being made the night before (keep in fridge over night) before setting crock pot to cook in the morning.

You may want to thicken the sauce before you serve, so check it 30 minutes before serving time.  To thicken sauce, just add 3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid to a heat proof jug and then add 1 tablespoon of cornflour, mix vigorously and then pour back into crock pot, stir, turn crock pot to high for 20-30 minutes.
