Chicken, Sausage and Potatoes all in ONE PAN!
This is it guys…this is your new ‘feed the family before they eat all the Cheetos’ dinner. If you make this once, you will make it again and again. Change up the sausage, change the potatoes, spice up or tone down the marinade. Any way you do it, this comes out perfect every time!
No need to pre-marinade. Just make a simple sauce of lemon juice, garlic, paprika and olive oil. Shake it up and pour it on!
Add your chicken, taters, some onion if you have it and sausage to a regular old 9 x 13 baking dish. Pour on the sauce, bake for an hour and you have a really great, healthy dinner that will feed 4-6 people easy.
Not to mention Paleo (with sweet potatoes) and Whole30 compliant!
I used Aidells Andouille sausage that was precooked, but you can use uncooked fresh sausage as well. Just slice them up and toss them in.
NOTES:
- Use bone in chicken. I used a combo of thighs and drumsticks. Bone in will ensure the potatoes and sausage get all cooked up at the same time.
- Whole small potatoes work great. I couldn’t find them at my store so I bought larger ones and just cut them in half. You want them rather large so they don’t get over cooked.
- For the marinade you can sub orange in lieu of lemon for a citrus flavor that I love,
- Don’t have smoked paprika? Just use regular but I do like the smoky flavor it imparts.
It’s really hard to mess this dish up. Keep it simple and fresh and you are gonna love it!
Have a great day guys!

You never fail me! Your recipes are simple, healthful and delicious! I made this tonight for my family and they loved it. My husband makes home-made sausage (I know, what a hobby!), so I used that, and as you said, even though it was raw when I put it all in the over, it was cooked perfectly after an hour. They were feeling pasta-y, so I didn’t use potatoes. I stirred the yummy sauce into some rotini when it was all done, placed the chicken and sausage on top … And I was a hero chef on a Thursday night!
Thanks Kathi!
Oven… Not over. Must’ve been MY skinny fingers, haha!
This is the way my kitchen ticks too – recipes like these are always a keeper and now I am off to shop for the ingredients!
Thank you Meeta….I love the name of your blog! Made me smile!
Love the one pan concept for cooking and the ingredients. I have a rosemary bush right outside my front door and picking up the spuds, sausage & chicken for tonight’s meal. Thanks for the new recipe & helping plan dinner for tonight!
What a nice comment! Thank you so much!
This is such a great combination for a delicious meal. The marinade looks so flavorful.
Thank you Molly! I love your blog and appreciate the note!
I am always looking for dishes to make for when my mom comes over! She loves her meat and potatoes! This looks like a fun recipe!
Hi Cindy – hope your Mom loves it! Thank you for the note!
Hi my question is do you cover the dish at any time and if so for how long. It looks like a great dish my family would love and with my time in the kitchen and heat I would like to get a idea, I have epilepsy so this is easy and perfect for me to make.
Hi Margaret! No need to cover. Leaving it uncovered allows the chicken and potatoes to crisp up. Wishing you good health! Thank you for your note.
Does it matter if the chicken is skinless? I prefer my chicken skins to crisp up.
The recipe uses skin on chicken. Maybe I misunderstood the question…but regardless, skin on or off it will work! Hope you love it!
Do you think I can freeze the leftovers?
I have never frozen potatoes but I know the chicken and sausage would hold up well!
Is it possible to make this with a whole chicken? If so, what would need to be adjusted?
Hi Kayleen – A whole chicken takes about 1.5 hours to cook. Your potatoes and sausage would be well overdone. Can’t recommend it since I have not tried it. You can always just cut up your chicken in quarters which would be fine!
Thank you Kathi!
What type of marinade did you use in this recipe?
Hi Jennifer! Lemon, olive oil, garlic…it’s all in the recipe!
What ratio of olive oil to lemon juice do you use for the sauce? I’m new to making my own sauces and am not sure where to start. Approximately how much garlic and paprika? Thanks!!
Hi Michele – the exact measurements are in the recipe for the marinade…or maybe I’m not understanding the question? Let me know! Thanks! Kathi
Ha! You didn’t misunderstand. Sorry. I was initially looking at the recipe on my phone and the link to the recipe was hidden. I found it on my laptop. Can’t wait to make this tonight!! Thanks!
What do you think a good side for this would be? Rice? But then I thought that’d be too much starch. A bean instead? It’s cooking now and smells really good!
I think all you need is a veggie for a side since it already has potatoes. I’d do steamed broccoli or carrots!
So am I correct that there is no special marinade separate from the ingredients in the post? It lists what sounds like should be the ingredients for the marinade but then also has “marinade” as an ingredient. Thanks!
Hi Michelle – only one marinade. Ingredients listed on the second part of the recipe card. Hope that helps clarify! Thanks!
My wife does not eat bone in chicken. Can I use boneless chicken breast instead!?
You bet! Just cut the potatoes smaller so they cook at the same time and reduce the cooking time to 30 minutes.
Does anyone have an estimated calorie count or nutrition information for this recipe?
Hi Colleen! I just updated with the nutritional info. I’m trying to work my way down the list and include this info on all my recipes…thanks for the nudge! I based this on 4 ounces of chicken and 1 teaspoon of olive oil as most of the 1/4 cup of oil ends up in the bottom of the pan. You can adjust if you slurp up the sauce like I do :).
Thank you so much! The meal was delicious!
Great recipe! I’m making for a 2nd time tonight since it was a hit with everyone in family the first time I made it!(which is hard to accomplish at times with 3 kids 🙂 Tonight I’m adding carrots hopefully they work too!
I love the idea of carrots, that will be perfect and I’m so glad you and your family liked it! Thank you so much for the nice note Crystel!
