ITALIAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Arrange 2 racks in middle and upper thirds of oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line two 10x15-inch baking pans with foil.
• Toss bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes together in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Transfer to one of the prepared pans.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drizzle bread slices with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with remaining salt and black pepper. Arrange on the other prepared pan.
• Remove the vegetables from the oven; push to one side of the pan. Add sausage to the exposed portion of the pan.
• Roast until vegetables are tender and sausage is heated through, 10 to 15 minutes more, adding the pan with bread in the last 5 minutes of roasting time. Sprinkle vegetables and sausage with oregano and serve with bread.

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage links until browned and oil begins to render, about 3 minutes per side. While sausages are cooking, pierce them lightly here and there with the tip of a sharp knife so some fats and juices are released. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into serving pieces, about 2-inch slices. Transfer back to pan along with any accumulated juices from the cutting board.
• Cut two slashes down to the bone on the skin side of each chicken thigh.
• Depending on the size of the peppers, halve or quarter them and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red and yellow onions and potato chunks. Add chicken thighs and sausage pieces with pan juices.
• Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
• Mix with your hands until all ingredients are coated in oil, 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer to large, heavy-duty roasting pan. Evenly space the chicken thighs skin side up. Position potatoes near the top.
• Place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and everything is caramelized, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with chopped fresh Italian parsley, if desired.

CHICKEN SAUSAGE, PEPPER AND ONION SUBS

Steps:

• Prick sausages with a fork. Place chicken sausages in a large skillet and add 1 inch of water. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet, 1 turn of the pan. Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat a little. Allow all the liquid to cook away, then brown and crisp the casings, 5 to 6 minutes. Deglaze the pan with stock or wine and cook it off, 1 minute. Remove sausages to a platter.
• While sausage cooks, slice the peppers and onions and prepare the garlic. Once the chicken sausage comes out of the pan, add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add veggies and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook 10 minutes.
• Place the giardiniera, parsley, basil and lemon zest in the food processor and grind into a relish.
• Slice sausages on an angle. Fill each roll with a little relish, then peppers and onions then the sliced sausages.

CAJUN CHICKEN SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Take a large nonstick skillet and heat the oil using medium high heat. Add your chopped onion, lower the heat to medium/medium low, stir and cook until the onion begins to brown (this may take a while).
• Once the onions are browning add the sliced bell peppers, stir and cook until the bell peppers soften, about five to ten minutes. Add your sliced sausage and cook until the sausage begins to brown. When the sausage has browned a bit, add your garlic, stir and cook for just a minute or so, when you can smell the garlic cooking you are ready for the next step (be careful not to brown the garlic as it will become bitter).
• Add the spinach, oregano, cumin, Cajun seasonings, paprika, salt and pepper, stir your seasonings into the mixture (NOTE: depending on your Cajun Seasoning you may want to adjust the quantity, more if your seasoning is fairly mild, less if your seasoning is strong, I use Olde Westport Cajun which is a medium intensity, the seasoning mix can be purchased online).
• Cook for one minute, add the can of tomato sauce and stir well, when mixture begins to bubble lower heat and cook for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring every so often.
• Serve over rice or noodles. (I serve over Risotto).
• Enjoy : ).
