Instructions
- I pulled my slow cooker (crock-pot) out of the cabinet and turned it onto high. No use waiting while I prepped my ingredients, which took no time at all.
- First I removed the skin from the chicken thighs and cut off any extraneous fat and tossed the thighs into the pot.
- Next I sliced the sausages into ½ slices and added them to the pot. The sausages were not completely defrosted so they were actually easier to slice since they didn't fall apart.
- Add the canned cannellini beans with their liquids.
- Finely, chop up the onion and add it to the pot.
- I added two cups of roasted chicken stock but I could have gotten away with one cup. There was a lot of liquid in the pot which was fine with me because it had such an awesome flavor. I'm going to eat the leftovers as a soup today for lunch.
- I sliced up a head of Napa cabbage and added it to the top, seasoned with salt and pepper, put on the top and let it cook for about 6 hours.
- About 15 minutes before serving I added the balsamic vinegar and gave it a stir. Tasted it and adjusted seasonings with salt and pepper.
For the Couscous
- Prepare the Israeli couscous by simmering a cup of couscous in 1¼ cups of water. Now that I think of it, I could have used some of the liquids from the slow cooker to make the couscous. Hmmm, maybe next time.
- I put a couple of spoonfuls of couscous in each shallow bowl and served the chicken, sausage and beans over it and ladled some of the cooking liquid around it.
Notes
- A very simple and tasty meal. You always hear me say how much I like "quick and easy" dishes, now I can say how much I enjoy "slow and easy" braised meals.
