4.8 from 1798 votes
This hearty one-pan meal combines juicy chicken thighs and smoky sausage with sweet bell peppers and onions. It is a simple, flavorful dinner that requires minimal cleanup and delivers maximum taste.
2Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season them on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
3In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sausage, bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic.
4Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle with dried oregano and smoked paprika.
5Toss everything until evenly coated.
6Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture onto the baking sheet in an even layer.
7Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs, skin side up, among the vegetables.
8Pour the chicken broth around the chicken (not over the skin) to keep the dish moist.
9Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C).
10The vegetables should be tender and lightly caramelized.
11If the chicken is not browned enough, broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
12Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
13Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
For a leaner option, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts and reduce the cooking time by 5 to 10 minutes. You can also add potatoes or zucchini along with the peppers for extra heartiness.

To store leftovers, let the dish cool completely then transfer it to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to four days or in the freezer for three months. When you are ready to eat, reheat it on the stovetop over medium low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
You can also reheat individual portions in the microwave for about two minutes. For serving ideas, I like to spoon this chicken and sausage over creamy polenta or buttery egg noodles. It also works well as a filling for sandwiches or wraps the next day.
Leftover sauce is great for dipping crusty bread. This recipe is always a good idea for any occasion because it is simple to make, feeds a crowd, and tastes even better the next day. My family asks for it again and again, and I never mind making it.
