Best Tuscan Chicken And Sausage Bake Recipes

ROASTED TUSCAN CHICKEN DINNER

Roasted Tuscan Chicken Dinner image

When an Italian friend shared many years ago that she often added Italian sausages to her pan of baked chicken, I had to give it a try! The sausages give the chicken an amazing flavor. Over the years, I've turned it into a one-dish meal by adding potatoes, onions and peppers, and it has become a family favorite that I often use for holidays, spur of the moment company and Sunday dinners. -Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, AND POTATOES

Chicken, Sausage, Peppers, and Potatoes image

You'll need a large, heavy-duty roasting pan (or a couple of smaller ones) and a very hot oven for this delicious dish. The long oven time makes everything beautifully caramelized and the chicken fork tender.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 large links hot Italian sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs
½ pound assorted sweet peppers, seeded
1 small red onion, sliced
½ yellow onion, sliced
4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage links until browned and oil begins to render, about 3 minutes per side. While sausages are cooking, pierce them lightly here and there with the tip of a sharp knife so some fats and juices are released. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into serving pieces, about 2-inch slices. Transfer back to pan along with any accumulated juices from the cutting board.
Cut two slashes down to the bone on the skin side of each chicken thigh.
Depending on the size of the peppers, halve or quarter them and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red and yellow onions and potato chunks. Add chicken thighs and sausage pieces with pan juices.
Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Mix with your hands until all ingredients are coated in oil, 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer to large, heavy-duty roasting pan. Evenly space the chicken thighs skin side up. Position potatoes near the top.
Place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and everything is caramelized, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with chopped fresh Italian parsley, if desired.
