Chicken Sausage With Mushrooms Peppers Food

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE RECIPE WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place baby potatoes in a cast-iron skillet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside when time is up. Note: the potatoes will finish cooking later in the sauce.
• Meanwhile, season chicken thighs with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch heavy-bottomed sauté (or deep) pan over medium heat on the stovetop.Note: The pan should have a lid for use later.
• Place the chicken in the pan and brown for 5 to 7 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken to the other side and brown for another 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Note: Chicken is not cooked at this point, we're just adding a little colour to it.
• Add the sausages to the pan and brown for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Flip the sausages and brown on the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer sausages to a plate and set aside. Note: Sausages are not cooked at this point.
• Remove any excess oil from the pan. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add onion and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes.
• Deglaze with chicken broth (loosening up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan from the chicken and sausages with a wooden spoon) and cook until the broth is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
• Add peppers, mushrooms, cooked potatoes, herbs, crushed red pepper flakes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Make a little space in the centre of the pan by pushing veggies to one side. Add tomato paste and stir in.
• Add tomatoes and stir.
• Place reserved chicken and sausages (and any juices) back into pan, tucking into the sauce and covering with it. Bring to a simmer (you want to maintain a gentle bubbling as it cooks) and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring about halfway so the sauce doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan, for 30 to 35 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken and sausages are fully cooked through (the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit when checked with an instant-read meat thermometer). I actually enjoy dark meat chicken cooked a little longer, about an internal temperature of 175 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit or so.Note: To check the internal temperature of the chicken, insert the instant-read meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, all the way to the middle, without touching any bone, fat or gristle. To check the internal temperature of the sausage, insert the instant-read meat thermometer into the end of the sausage. Remove the thermometer from the food after checking the temperature.
• Stir in balsamic vinegar. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, to taste.
• Garnish with parsley and Parmesan. Serve and enjoy! Great with a hunk of crusty bread to soak up that delicious sauce.

SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM BAKED RIGATONI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add both cans of tomatoes and 1 cup of water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly, add the basil and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the basil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and reducing the heat slightly if necessary, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the bowl with the sausage.
• Cook the rigatoni in the salted boiling water until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl.
• Add the tomato sauce and half of the provolone and pecorino to the bowl and stir well to combine. Transfer the pasta to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and dollop spoonfuls of the ricotta on top. Top with the remaining provolone and pecorino. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta stand about 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped basil.

CHICKEN SAUSAGES WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and peppers in oil until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in sausages; heat through.

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage until golden, about 2 minutes. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with the flour in a bowl; add to the skillet and cook until browned but not cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Add the onion, peppers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and cook 3 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits; bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the sausage and chicken are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken, sausage and vegetables to a platter with a slotted spoon. Increase the heat to high and stir the parsley and cherry peppers and their liquid into the skillet; boil until reduced by one-third, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture.

SAUSAGE-MUSHROOM CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place sausage in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Poke holes into the sausage with a fork. Cook, turning as needed, until browned and firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Refrigerate sausage until ready to use.
• Heat oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts, skin-side down, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut off the base of the mushrooms and separate individual segments. Dice cold sausage.
• Flip chicken breasts over and sear on the opposite side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Set aside on plate.
• Add red onion, sausage, and mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt. Cook and stir until mixture begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Transfer chicken to serving plates. Cover skillet handle with a towel; place over high heat. Cook and stir sausage mixture until caramelized, about 1 minute. Pour in wine and simmer until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and toss in butter and 1 tablespoon parsley. Stir frequently until butter melts.
• Spoon sauce over the chicken. Garnish with remaining parsley.

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.

SKILLET SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Brown sausage in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet; add wine.
• Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until sausage is done.
• Uncover, bring to a boil, and reduce wine by two-thirds. Remove sausage, reserving drippings in skillet; keep sausage warm.
• Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms to skillet; saute until tender. Return sausage to skillet; add tomato sauce. Simmer 8 minutes or to desired consistency.

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGES AND MUSHROOMS WITH ARUGULA AND CROUTONS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. Toss the sausages and mushrooms on a sheet pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast, shaking the pan once or twice, until browned and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil with the vinegar and garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the sausages and mushrooms are done, use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer to a plate, leaving the drippings behind. Add the torn bread and 1 teaspoon of the dressing to the baking sheet. If the bread seems dry, add more dressing, 1 teaspoon at a time. Roast until the bread is lightly toasted, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and arugula to the pan. Drizzle and toss with the remaining vinaigrette until lightly coated. Stir in the parsley, then season to taste with salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. Sprinkle with Parmesan and eat with the sausages.
