Every bite of this hearty one-dish meal brings back memories of my grandmother's Italian kitchen. To this day, I can picture Grandma slicing fresh sausage, dicing crispy peppers and adding just a pinch of oregano. I stir up those memories often this casserole's a favorite for family gatherings, church suppers and post-practice community choir socials. Ingredients:
6 potatoes, peeled and quartered |
1 red pepper, cut in lengthwise strips |
1 green pepper, cut in lengthwise strips |
1 teaspoon oregano |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 frying chicken (3 pounds), skinned and cut in pieces or 6 chicken breast halves, cut in chunks |
1 pound sweet or mild johnsonville® mild italian sausage links, cut in 1-inch to 2-inch chunks |
Directions:
1. Spray a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish with vegetable cooking oil; arrange potatoes and peppers in the dish. Combine the seasoning; sprinkle a third of the seasoning mixture over vegetables.
2. Layer chicken pieces and sausage over vegetables; sprinkle remaining seasoning mixture on top. Cover and bake at 425° for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°; bake 30-40 minutes longer. Yield: 6 servings.
