Chicken Sausages With Peppers Recipes

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, AND POTATOES

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.

CHICKEN SAUSAGES WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and peppers in oil until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in sausages; heat through.

HOT CHICKEN WITH SAUSAGES, TOMATOES & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat half the oil in a big shallow casserole dish in which the thighs can lie in a single layer - one 30cm across is ideal, if you use a bigger dish the sauce may evaporate. Quickly brown the chicken on both sides - you don't want to cook the chicken through, just get some colour on it - then remove from the pan. Do the same with the sausages in the remaining oil, colouring them all over. Cut the sausages on the diagonal into three or four pieces. Drain the peppers of their brine and cut into broad strips.
• Add the onions and tomatoes to the dish or roasting tin with the chilli, garlic, seasoning, sherry vinegar, rosemary and sausages. Heat the stock and add that too. Mix everything together. Arrange so that the chicken is on top. Bake in the oven for 30 mins, stirring the 'sauce' that forms around the vegetables halfway through.
• When 30 mins is up, add the peppers and cook for another 10 mins. The chicken should be cooked through with a thick sauce around it. Serve with rice pilaf, little potatoes that you've roasted in olive oil or mashed potato (mash or rice with a little saffron in it would be lovely).

PRESSURE COOKER ITALIAN CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in the pressure cooker.
• Prick the skin of the sausages in several places with the tines of a fork.
• Add the sausages and chicken to the oil and cook until well browned on all sides.
• While the chicken is cooking, dice the onion.
• Cut the green peppers into 3/4" thick strips.
• Mince the garlic.
• When the chicken and sausages are browned, remove them from the pan and set aside.
• Add the onion, green peppers and garlic to the cooker to cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
• Add the vinegar and stir up the browned bits from the bottom of the cooker.
• Add the chicken and sausages, tomatoes, basil, fennel, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste.
• Close pressure cooker and bring up to full pressure.
• Reduce heat to stabilize pressure and cook for 10 minutes.
• Release pressure and adjust the seasoning.

ITALIAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Arrange 2 racks in middle and upper thirds of oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line two 10x15-inch baking pans with foil.
• Toss bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes together in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Transfer to one of the prepared pans.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drizzle bread slices with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with remaining salt and black pepper. Arrange on the other prepared pan.
• Remove the vegetables from the oven; push to one side of the pan. Add sausage to the exposed portion of the pan.
• Roast until vegetables are tender and sausage is heated through, 10 to 15 minutes more, adding the pan with bread in the last 5 minutes of roasting time. Sprinkle vegetables and sausage with oregano and serve with bread.
