Description

One-pan chicken, sausage, peppers, and potatoes is the stovetop version of Chef John's popular roasted recipe, but made quick and easy for weeknights.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
1 sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
3 small Yukon Gold potatoes, cut in half
3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
1 small red onion, sliced
1 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 slices Italian bread, toasted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a nonstick skillet. Break up sausage into small pieces and add to the pan; add potato pieces sporadically, flesh-side down. Place chicken pieces throughout the pan, smooth side down. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Sprinkle over Italian herbs.
3 Scatter over sliced onion and bell peppers. Sear over high heat until sausage starts to brown, about 5 minutes.
4 Reduce heat to medium-high, cover, and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes.
5 Add broth and cook until reduced by at least half.
6 Stir and squeeze over lemon juice. Taste and adjust if needed.
7 Serve over toasted bread and top with parsley.
