Doubled the garlic (as usual!). And added a green bell pepper for color. Too lazy to go out and get chorizo. We used a spicy Italian turkey sausage and it was delicious.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 chicken thighs -- skin removed
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 medium onions -- cut into half rounds
2 garlic cloves -- minced
2 medium red bell peppers -- seeded and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium yellow bell pepper -- seeded and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 cup chicken broth
4 ounces Spanish chorizo -- or soppressata, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on all sides. Transfer the browned meat to the insert of a 5 to 7-quart slow cooker. Add the onions, garlic, bell peppers, paprika, and thyme to the skillet and saute until the vegetables are softened, 7 to 8 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Transfer the contents of the skillet to the slow cooker insert. Add the chorizo and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Skim off any fat from the top of the sauce and serve the stew from the cooker set on warm.
Serves 8.
AuthorNote: The Basque region is in the western Pyrenees, which run along the border between France and Spain. Its cuisine varies from place to place, but this chicken dish can be found on many restaurant menus in the region. Chicken with sausage, bell peppers, onions, and paprika is braised until the chicken is falling off the bone, and a sauce coats the chicken and vegetables. It's delicious served with crusty bread and a green salad with avacados and oranges.
