Peasant Style Chicken or Pollo alla Contadina

Contributed by: Melinda

The instructions here are for the slow-cooker or crockpot. You could easily do this on the stovetop or in the oven, but the chicken won't be the same. I use Portugese Linguica sausage and the flavor combination is outstanding.

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 small-medium red bell pepper, cut into quarters, seeded and thinly sliced
4 large cloves garlic, minced
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh rosemary (4 inches), minced
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh oregano (4 inches)
1 lb. Portugese Linguica sausage (you can use Italian or other sausage)
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon Kosher or Sea Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 tbl cornstarch
2 tbl cold water

In slow cooker, combine onion, bell pepper, garlic, rosemary and oregano.
Cut sausage into serving size pieces and place over vegetables
Rinse and pat dry chicken pieces and place in a single layer over the top of the sausages.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over top
Splash in the wine
Cook on low for 7 hours until the chicken is falling-apart tender
Remove sauce from slow cooker to a saucepan, leaving slow cooker on warm or low to keep meat warm
Heat sauce to boiling and reduce slightly
Mix cornstarch and cold water
Remove sauce from heat and whisk in cornstarch mixture
Return sauce to heat and cook until desired consistency (you can reduce the heat at this point)
Serve chicken and sausages with sauce on the side or over the top
