ROASTED TUSCAN CHICKEN DINNER



Roasted Tuscan Chicken Dinner image

When an Italian friend shared many years ago that she often added Italian sausages to her pan of baked chicken, I had to give it a try! The sausages give the chicken an amazing flavor. Over the years, I've turned it into a one-dish meal by adding potatoes, onions and peppers, and it has become a family favorite that I often use for holidays, spur of the moment company and Sunday dinners. -Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois
