Herbed Chicken with Vegetables (in the crock pot)

This is one of my new favorite dishes! So easy to fix, tastes great and it's good for you!

Ingredients:  
3 to 4 pounds chicken pieces
1 onion chopped into large chunks
2 cups whole baby carrots
2 medium potatoes, cut in 1-inch chunks
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine
2 medium celery ribs, cut in 2-inch chunks
2 slices bacon, diced
1 bay leaf
1/4 t dried thyme
1/4 t black pepper
1 T dried parsley
1 t dried tarragon
1 t grated lemon peel
1 T fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 T cornstarch or tapioca starch
1/4 c water

Directions:
In slow cooker, combine chicken, onions, carrots, potatoes, broth, wine, celery, bacon, bay leaf, thyme and pepper. Set on low and cook 8 to 10 hours. 
Set aside.
Remove chicken and vegetables to a separate dish and keep warm. 
Pour juices into a saucepan. Stir in the parsley, tarragon, lemon zest and lemon juice, along with salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Add starch to 1/4 c water until it dissolves. Add to juices in saucepan and stir until it thickens. Spoon over chicken and vegetables. 

Great with biscuits~
