For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Brown them well in the skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Feel free to experiment with different types of smoked sausage. Kielbasa or chorizo would also be delicious. If you don't have fresh parsley on hand, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried parsley, but fresh is preferred. This cassoulet tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together. It's perfect for meal prepping or making ahead for a dinner party.

Jan 7, 2024Next time, I might try adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet while cooking the onions. I think it would add another layer of flavor.
