I once heard a girl talking about her favorite recipe that involved chicken and sausage. I immediately thought “I need to make something like that in the crockpot!” So that’s what I did. I love how the sausage flavors everything perfectly. The red pepper adds in some extra dimension and flavor and color. The chicken is super tender. You can serve this over rice or potatoes or simply on it’s own! It’s all yummy.

Hi 🙂 I just made your SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE, CHICKEN & PEPPERS for my husbands birthday. Everyone asked for the recipe! Soooo delicious!!!! Can you please tell me what size the servings are. I'm trying to calculate for my fitness pal. Thank you 🙂
THere are 4 servings in the entire dish. so you can just put in the whole recipe and divide by 4. Glad you liked it!!
Rose, it serves 4. But yes, if having company I would double, just to be sure there is enough! Hope you and your company like it.
