Made this tonight & thought I'd share, super yummy. I used the organic boneless skinless chicken thighs from trader's just one package, and three sweet sausages. I made the little marinade for the chicken in the mini-cuisinart, and I did the whole thing in the pot that is actually my crockpot insert, because I have one that can go on the stovetop and in the oven, so thats a good idea if you don't have a pot that is oven-proof and big enough.

I had some sangria with it (sipping my second glass now!) and it was heavenly. makes a ton so there are good lunch leftovers, too.
