Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 300 grams smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 400 grams diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 60 milliliters dark rum
- 500 milliliters chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)
- 4 cups cooked rice (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Sear them in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Add the smoked sausage to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Transfer the onion, bell pepper, and garlic mixture to the slow cooker.
Add the seared chicken thighs, browned sausage, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, chicken stock, dark rum, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if necessary.
Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
