How to Make Slow Cooker Amish Chicken and Sausage

1. Add the chicken and sausage

Lightly coat your slow cooker with cooking spray if desired. Place the chicken thighs in an even layer on the bottom. Scatter the sliced smoked sausage over the chicken.

2. Make the creamy sauce

Whisk the condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken broth together in a bowl or measuring cup until mostly smooth.

3. Slow cook

Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken and sausage. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and very tender.

4. Serve

Gently stir the ingredients and spoon the creamy broth over the chicken and sausage. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or fluffy rice.

Recipe Tips

Use chicken thighs for the best texture: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are especially good for slow cooking because they remain tender and flavorful.

Choose your favorite sausage: Smoked sausage, kielbasa, or turkey sausage can all be used. Garlic-flavored smoked sausage adds an especially savory taste.

Make it more filling: Add baby carrots or thick-sliced onions during cooking for extra vegetables and flavor.

Want a thicker sauce? Let the finished dish rest uncovered for about 10 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.

For picky eaters: Shred or slice the cooked chicken and serve it over noodles or mashed potatoes for an easy, familiar family meal.

Storage

Transfer leftover chicken and sausage to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently until hot throughout. The creamy sauce and savory flavors make excellent leftovers served over rice, noodles, or toast.
