Slow Cooker Rosemary Chicken, Sausage & Mushrooms
An easy weeknight, or weekend comfort food dinner, all it needs is mashed potato.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1.3 kg) bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup (68 grams) all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
- 1/3 cup (78 ml) low sodium chicken stock
- 1/3 cup (78 ml) dry white wine
- 1 pound (453 grams) chicken or turkey sausage
- 22 ounces (623 grams) brown mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Set slow cooker to low.
- Coat the thighs in flour, shake off excess.
- To a large skillet add 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to ripple, add the thighs and brown a little on each side. Add the chicken stock and wine, move the chicken around to mix well with the liquids and simmer until the liquid starts to thicken. Transfer everything to the slow cooker along with the sausages.
- To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until they start to brown. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the carrots, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring. Transfer these vegetables to the slow cooker along with the bay leaves. Stir until all the ingredients are in an even layer. Put on the lid and cook on low for 5 hours.
- Remove bay leaves before serving.

It’s in my crock pot right now. Can’t wait! From the photo it looked like you browned the sausage. Do you think it’s better that way? The fry pan was already used, so I decided to brown some of them. I had doubled the sausage with one pound chicken and one mild Italian for my husband. Thanks for the recipe.
I hope the dish was delicious. I did not brown the sausage before adding. I love that you used mild and spicy.
This recipe sounds wonderful! We just made it and the 1/3 cup of chicken stock was not nearly enough to cover the I gredie ya in the crock pot. Is that measurement accurate? We needed more like 3 cups. I also wanted to let you know how incredible this meal was. My family devoured it and loved it. My picky 5 and 3 year olds, my little 1 year old, and my husband all ate it for two nights. (I’m vegetarian so I didn’t join in, but it looked and smelled great.)Thank you so much.
Hi Alyson, yes this measurement is accurate. The liquid does not need to cover the ingredients as everything cooks by braising. You can see in the last picture of my crockpot that the ingredients are not completely submerged. I’m so glad they all liked it because there’s nothing better than the approval of picky eating kids 🙂
Love several aspects about this recipe. Would love to know how to make using boneless and bone-in chicken breast since I don’t care for dark meat. Have most of the ingredients on hand and would love to make in the next few days. Many thanks.
Hi Gail, you can make this the same way just replace the thighs with breasts. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you like it.
WOW! Thank you for your prompt reply. Would you recommend using boneless skinless breast, or do you think the bone-in breast would make for a better dish? Either way, I plan to make this today. Thank you again.
I think bone-in because boneless chicken dries out very quickly and you may end up with shredded chicken at the end of the cooking. 🙂
Hi Marla, yes those are carrots, thank you for pointing that out. They were a last minute addition because I felt like the dish needed a little color.
Made it today. Turned out amazing!
I love to hear this. Thank you Zenith for the feedback.
How insanely delicious does this look!?!?! Yum!
