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!

May 1, 2018 at 5:14 pmI 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?.

May 1, 2018 at 6:18 pmHi 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!

April 21, 2018 at 4:45 pmWould this be good with sweet potatoes as well?
Kathi @ LaughingSpatula.com says
April 21, 2018 at 4:55 pmYes! Cut them in about 2 inch pieces as they take longer than white potatoes to cook.

February 22, 2018 at 5:54 pmWhat 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!
Kathi @ LaughingSpatula.com says
February 22, 2018 at 7:22 pmI 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:).

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 🙂
Kathi @ LaughingSpatula.com says
February 19, 2018 at 1:30 amHi 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!

June 23, 2017 at 11:52 pmGreat 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!
Kathi @ LaughingSpatula.com says
June 24, 2017 at 2:06 pmI 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!

June 19, 2017 at 3:19 pmDoes anyone have an estimated calorie count or nutrition information for this recipe?
Kathi @ LaughingSpatula.com says
June 19, 2017 at 3:33 pmHi 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 :).
Colleen says
June 20, 2017 at 1:22 amThank you so much! The meal was delicious!

May 7, 2017 at 5:50 pmMy wife does not eat bone in chicken. Can I use boneless chicken breast instead!?
Kathi @ LaughingSpatula.com says
May 7, 2017 at 11:34 pmYou bet! Just cut the potatoes smaller so they cook at the same time and reduce the cooking time to 30 minutes.
Michelle says
April 27, 2017 at 9:45 pmSo 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!
Kathi @ LaughingSpatula.com says
April 27, 2017 at 10:53 pmHi Michelle – only one marinade. Ingredients listed on the second part of the recipe card. Hope that helps clarify! Thanks!

April 24, 2017 at 11:23 pmWhat 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!
Kathi @ LaughingSpatula.com says
April 25, 2017 at 12:06 amI think all you need is a veggie for a side since it already has potatoes. I’d do steamed broccoli or carrots!
