Dairy-Free Crockpot Italian Chicken

My mission to have a Fall full of comfort food is in full swing! I’ve been spending more time planning out or meals for the week, and I always love to try new crockpot meals when the temperatures drop. This easy crockpot dinner is dairy-free and fills the house with the most comforting Italian seasoning smells!

This chicken can be served by itself or, my preferred way, over a pound of pasta for a really hearty Sunday dinner that makes the best leftovers. I used Gooseneck Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon in this dish, and it was the perfect dry red to cook with and enjoy a glass of while we had dinner!
