Ingredients

1½-2 pounds Chicken Drums or chicken thighs 4-5 pieces
1-1¼ pound Italian Sausage mild, hot, or sweet 4-5 sausages
1½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 pound Small Red Potatoes sliced in halves or quarters depending on their size (small gold potatoes can also be used
10 ounces Fresh Green Beans trim and cut large ones in half

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the potatoes and green beans to a large bowl. Add the olive oil and half the seasoning mix. Reserve the remaining mix for the chicken. Stir and toss until coated.
Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet leaving plenty of space between them. Place larger pieces towards the edges.
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the reserved seasoning mix.
Now, arrange the sausage on the baking sheet, leaving space between the chicken and sausages.
Next, arrange the vegetables to fill the gaps between the chicken and sausage. Make sure everything sits flat and is not mounded. It should all fit snuggly.
Bake the chicken, sausage, and vegetables for 60-75 minutes or until the chicken and sausage reach an internal temperature of at least 165°, and the potatoes are tender. Use an instant read thermometer to make sure.
Serve with a side of chimichurri and lime wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
