Italian Braised Chicken

This was a Better Homes and Gardens Recipe that I adapted to make it more primal...
2-2 1/2 lbs of chicken 
1 fennel bulb cored and cut into thin wedges.
1 medium yellow sweet pepper
1 medium onion 
3 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon fresh snipped rosemary or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 teaspoon fresh snipped oregano or 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes undrained
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh snipped parsley
I put everything into the crock-pot except the cheese and parmesan cheese. Place chicken in first and then everything else on top. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2 1/2-3 hours.
Sprinkle each serving with parsley and parmesan.

For a super tasty alternative, I used goat cheese instead of parmesan. It is alot creamier and has tons of flavor!
