Slow Cooker Lemon Artichoke Chicken

I know the picture doesn't look that appetizing, but trust me this is an awesome dish!  The flavors are amazing!   I served ours over some white rice, but you can serve it with pasta as well.  Also, the amount recommended for lemon juice is 2 Tbs.  However, I found that to be a bit too strong (and I love lemon!).  So, try it with just 1 Tbs and if you feel like it needs more, you can always add that second Tbs.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-1 Tbs vegetable oil

-1 onion, diced

-6 garlic cloves, minced

-1 Tbs tomato paste

-4 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in

-salt and pepper

-2 Tbs red wine vinegar

-1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, chopped

-1 (10.5) can cream of chicken soup

-1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

-1-2 Tbs lemon juice

-2 Tbs Dijon mustard

-1 cup sliced mushrooms

Directions:

Heat oil in large saute pan.  Add onions and garlic.  Cook for 5-10 minutes.  Add the tomato paste and stir well.  Remove from heat.

Season chicken with salt and pepper.  Place on bottom of slow cooker.  Pour onion mixture over chicken.  Also, add the red wine vinegar.  Cover and cook on slow for 4 hours.

In a separate bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients.  Pour over chicken, cover and cook for an extra 30 minutes.  Enjoy!
