I made this Friday night for dinner. Everything I used in this recipe was bought at Grocery Outlet even a good local wine for 2.99! I used organic cannellini beans and omitted the salt. I really enjoyed this as did my husband great basic flavors of each ingredient all coming together nicely. My kids didn't care for it but that meant there was more for me the next day. The crusty bread is a must have with this dish to sop up all those juices cooksforfourty is absolutely right. And you know I think this was even better the next day if that was possible. So simple and so comforting. Thank you SO much for sharing.

The whole family really enjoyed this for dinner last night. I subbed chicken broth for the white wine. I used canned navy beans they kind of dissapeared while it was cooking. The chicken and sausage was so good!! I served with mashed potatoes on the side. This would be good ontop of egg noodles too. I will def. make this again!!!
5 Stars! But I did make a couple changes to suit my family. First used mild italian sausage and browned meats before adding to crock pot - not necessary but does add a nice flavor. Second - Added 1 cup chicken stock along with the wine for more sauce. Last - thickened the juices with water and corn starch before serving. DELICIOUS!
Good slow cooker recipe but it had a lot of meat compared to the other ingredients. Adding one more can of beans would help round it out a bit and maybe reduce the chicken to 1 1/2 lbs. I substituted 1 tsp. dried thyme for the parsley. At 5 hours the chicken was overcooked but the cassoulet wasn't thickened yet. Good flavor and easy to make.
thanks for sharing the great recipe! It was awesome had amazing taste for very little work! Did everything as you said except used chicken broth instead of white wine. make sure you pick up some great bread for dipping!
This was good but too salty. I will make again and omit salt entirely. Could not find cannellini beans - used butter beans and they were excellent. Could not find turkey kielbasa so used regular but the low fat kind. Very good with some tweaking and certainly very easy!
Like others I used chicken legs rather than breasts because it tastes better. Also I started out with dry beans rather than canned which gave me a lot more control over the end flavor. I used beef broth chicken broth and white wine in equal parts to cook my beans in. Then I added 3 baby leeks finely chopped in place of half of the onion and added 1/2 TBSP of thyme. It was amazingly delicious! Cassoulet is one of those dishes that everyone has their own recipe for so I think this recipe is more to let people know that it can be made in a slow cooker and give us the times and ratios which I appreciate greatly. As far as the "dryness" others complained of cassoulet isn't soup. This is the texture it's supposed to be. Thanks so much cooks4forty for this innovative and unusually healthful take on cassoulet.
I made this last night for tonights dinner. It was so easy to prepare and it was delicious. The whole family really enjoyed it. It's has that comfort food texture. Highly recommend it. Yum!!
As per previous reviews of this being too salty I held back on salting it. I will next time use the chicken broth instead of the wine. I subbed great northern beans instead of the cannelini and i did end up salting it a bit at the end. My recipe did not start to "break down" and thicken until about the 7th hour. I did use bone in breast/ that's what I had on hand and prefer to use since they dont dry out as bad. Served this with "ali's amazing bruschetta" also from this site. This was a great dinner on a end of the season surprise cold night. Thank you for sharing!! It was well received.
This was ok but it turned out pretty bland and the chicken was dry (no idea how this happend in a slow cooker!) I may try again and add some more seasonings like basil and a bay leaf and definitely increase the beans and halve the amount of chicken. It is very very chickeny.
