Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or chicken breasts if preferred)
- 2 sausage links (Italian sausage or your choice, sliced)
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. -
Prepare the Vegetables and Potatoes:
Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Slice the bell peppers and onion. Place all the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet. -
Season the Vegetables:
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to coat evenly. -
Add the Chicken and Sausage:
Season the chicken thighs (or breasts) with salt, pepper, and a little extra smoked paprika. Nestle the chicken thighs into the vegetables on the baking sheet. Add the sausage slices around the chicken. -
Roast in the Oven:
Roast the chicken, sausage, and vegetables in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender. You can flip the sausage and vegetables halfway through to ensure even cooking. -
Finish and Serve:
Once everything is cooked through and golden brown, remove from the oven. If desired, garnish with fresh thyme for added flavor and color. -
Serve:
Serve the roasted chicken, sausage, peppers, and potatoes hot from the baking sheet. This dish is great on its own or paired with a side salad or crusty bread.
Notes
- You can customize this recipe with different types of sausage or add extra vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
- If you prefer boneless chicken, chicken breasts or thighs will work well. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as boneless cuts may cook a little faster.
- For a bit of spice, add red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
