Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 4 Italian sausages (mild or hot)

Vegetables

  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Others

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the chicken and vegetables.
  2. Prepare Proteins: Place the bone-in chicken thighs and Italian sausages on a large baking sheet or roasting pan, allowing space for even cooking.
  3. Toss Vegetables and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine halved baby potatoes, sliced bell peppers, sliced onion, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss everything together until vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables around the chicken thighs and sausages on the baking sheet, distributing them evenly.
  5. Add Liquid: Pour 1/4 cup of chicken broth into the pan to help keep the dish moist during roasting.
  6. Roast the Dish: Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 45 to 55 minutes. Halfway through cooking, turn the sausages and stir the vegetables to promote even cooking and browning.
  7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the pan for 2 to 3 minutes at the end of roasting.
  • You can substitute smoked sausage or chorizo for a different flavor profile.
  • Ensure to monitor the internal temperature of the chicken to avoid undercooking.
  • Adjust seasoning and spice level according to preference, especially when using hot sausages or red pepper flakes.
