I always make the recipe as written to start. With that said I found this a little lacking so I tweaked it a little. Used bone-in chicken the browned it and the sausage first (sun dried-chicken sausage). Carmelized the onions and peppers and then placed in cooker with one small can diced tomatoes with oregano and rosemary. Substituted one can of chicken stock for the vermouth and added small button mushrooms for the last two hours. Only took 5 hours on low to be fall off the bone delicious.

Pretty good. I added a lot more liquid using chicken broth instead of vermouth and it kept the chicken moist. As a result, though I didn't really get a gravy, so I served over rice. It was still pretty good. Very easy, too; I loved that I could put it in the slow cooker in the morning and have a good meal at dinner. Thanks for the recipe!

Not bad, but not so good either. It lacked flavor and the chicken was a little dry (and we'd used thighs). Next time I'd add a can of diced tomato (as I now see others suggested) and use chicken broth instead of vermouth. I'd add more veggies, too - more pepper, maybe some banana peppers, and probably some mushrooms. I would double the oregano, add more rosemary, and put the salt in earlier in the process.

I absolutely loved this recipe. A combination of two of my favorite meats, lots of flavor and punch. A new favorite. I would not change a thing in this! My husband (who is not crazy for chicken) went wild when he tasted it, he loves this recipe too!

Yummy and easy! I added sauteed fresh mushrooms before thickening the sauce. I also added a half can of chicken broth when cooking to make sure chicken and sausage were not dry.

I made this for today's Sunday dinner as a last minute decision. It was a great decision! Last night plans were made for my daughter and parents to come over for dinner today. So, this morning as the pineapple upside down cake was in the oven I had to figure out what I could make. I did add a can of diced, Italian style tomatoes as others suggested, as well as fresh sliced mushrooms. I also did not have Italian sausage, but used Chorizo sausage instead. We used rotini pasta as that is all I had. This was very good. I did cook mine on high for 5 hours and my chicken was not dry at all. I will be making this again!

Wonderful after a day outside in the cold...the layers I used were onions on the bottem, then broccoli and mushrooms...used the recommendations of 1/2 cup wine and 1/2 cup chicken stock...spiced it up...and put frozen chicken thighs on top...cooked 5 hours on high...browned the chicken while making the sauce. Served it all on Rotini...wonderful.

Quite enjoyable: Chicken was a bit dry, but sauce was very tasty. Carmelized onions & peppers before adding to crock pot. Also cut breasts in half and browned chicken and sausage (removed casing) before adding to pot. Added 1/2 cup white wine, 1/2 cup chicken stock, sliced mushrooms to crock pot. Doubled spices and cornstarch. Served over tortiglioni with a Pinot Grigio.
