Time 7h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ pound chorizo sausage, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
ground black pepper to taste
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with garlic
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

Steps:

  • Combine chicken thighs, chorizo sausage, onions, garlic, oregano, and pepper in a slow cooker. Stir in diced tomatoes and tomato paste until well mixed. Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 9 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Stir in artichoke hearts and cook on Low until heated through, 10 to 15 more minutes.
