1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning often, until crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Crumble when cool and set aside.
2

Add the onion to the same skillet and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken, sausage, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper; cook until the chicken is browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste.
3

Transfer the chicken mixture to a slow cooker. Stir in the great Northern beans, diced tomatoes, and bacon, then cover the cooker. Cook on Low until the cassoulet is thickened and the chicken is very tender, 4 to 5 hours. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
