Chicken, Sausage and Potatoes all in one pan! This meal takes about 10 minutes to throw together and checks all the categories we love around here. Fast, Fresh and Healthy with tons of flavor!
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 it up or tone it down. Any way you do it, this comes out perfect every time!
How to make One Pan Roasted Chicken, Sausage and Potatoes!
No need to pre-marinade. Just whip up 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. That old baking dish never looked so good!
Pour on the marinade and toss. Bake for an hour and you have a really great, healthy dinner that will feed 4-6 people easy.
Depending on the quality of your sausage, this meal is super healthy and made with whole ingredients! 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. If you are watching your calories, try to stick with a chicken sausage.
Notes to make this Easy One Pan Chicken, Sausage and Potato Dinner!
- Use bone in chicken. I used a combo of thighs and drumsticks. Bone in will ensure the potatoes and sausage get 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!

I have some leftover rotisserie chicken I wanted t try with this recipe but I am unsure when to add it so it gets the flavors but wont dry out.
Any suggestions?.
Hi Connie! I would half the marinade. Cook all the ingredients excluding the already cooked chicken, for about 25 minutes until potatoes are almost done. Toss in the chicken, and cook for an additional 15 minutes until heated through. (this is assuming you are talking about bone in chicken pieces like drumsticks and bone in chicken thighs. If it is chicken removed from the bird…just toss in for the last 10 minutes until reheated). Hope that helps!
Would this be good with sweet potatoes as well?
Yes! Cut them in about 2 inch pieces as they take longer than white potatoes to cook.
What do you use as a finishing herb? In the picture, it looks like basil but could just be parsley. Making tonight and hoping to make a splash with the family. Thanks!
I think it’s parsley…I usually have that hanging around. But rosemary would be wonderful. Any herb really…whatever you have! Sometime when I don’t have anything for food photos, I cheat and use the fronds of celery :). Anything to make it pretty:).
So easy and yummy. Definitely will be added to my rotation.
I made this the other night and it was delicious. It was also great cold as leftover the next day for lunch. I’ll be adding It to the regular dinner rotation this fall.
There is a pic on the recipe that seems pouring sauce/marinate in the unseasoned tray. I cant seem to find anything on the recipe that can make that sauce! Is that sauce just bigger poetion of oil n seasonjng? I have gone up n down 15 min n looked eveything. Want to clearify . It looks amazing just want to get t right 🙂
Hi Maggie – That sauce is the marinade. The recipe for it is in the recipe card. I just switched it up a bit to make it easier to see. I hope that helps! Working furiously to update our old recipe cards!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
