Add the ground chicken to a pan on the stove top over medium-high heat. Brown the ground chicken, stirring frequently to break up the meat, until fully cooked.
Do the same with the sausage to cook completely on the stove top. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on low for 8 hours. Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve hot.
Notes
I used a blonde beer. You can also leave out the beer and use chicken broth in its place.
