Slow Cooker Cassoulet
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 slices turkey bacon
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped
  • 1/4 pound fully-cooked smoked sausage, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 3 (15 ounce) cans great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Preheat your stovetop to a medium heat setting, then pour olive oil into a large cooking vessel. Introduce the bacon and cook it constantly until it reaches your desired level of crispiness and browning, approximately 10 minutes. Remove excess oil by placing the bacon on paper towels to drain.
2
Separate the onion from its container and place it in the same cooking vessel. Cook the onion with occasional stirring until it becomes translucent, roughly 5 minutes. Combine the chicken, sausage, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper in the skillet. Cook until the chicken develops a brown color, around 5 to 8 minutes. Introduce tomato paste into the mixture and stir well.
3
Transfer the chicken mixture to a slow cooker, then add great Northern beans, diced tomatoes, and crumbled bacon. Cover the cooker to allow for slow cooking. Cook on Low until the cassoulet reaches your desired consistency and the chicken is extremely tender, approximately 4 to 5 hours. Sprinkle parsley on top before serving.
