ROASTED TUSCAN CHICKEN DINNER

Tips:
- Choose the right type of chicken. For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks are best. They have more flavor than boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and color to the dish. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and bell peppers.
- Season the dish well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, oregano, or thyme.
- Simmer the dish for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken and sausage to become tender.
- Serve the dish with rice or bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
