Homemade Mild Italian Sausage Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• If using sausage links, remove from casings.
• Crumble sausage in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until browned. Remove sausage and set aside.
• Add mushrooms and garlic to the drippings. Cook and stir until mushrooms are tender.
• Stir in the sausage, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• In another skillet, brown chicken slightly. Remove from skillet and put in a 13x9 baking dish.
• Pour tomato sauce mixture over chicken. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
• Uncover and sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 minutes more (uncovered).
• Serve over hot pasta.

Steps:

• Arrange 2 racks in middle and upper thirds of oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line two 10x15-inch baking pans with foil.
• Toss bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes together in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Transfer to one of the prepared pans.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drizzle bread slices with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with remaining salt and black pepper. Arrange on the other prepared pan.
• Remove the vegetables from the oven; push to one side of the pan. Add sausage to the exposed portion of the pan.
• Roast until vegetables are tender and sausage is heated through, 10 to 15 minutes more, adding the pan with bread in the last 5 minutes of roasting time. Sprinkle vegetables and sausage with oregano and serve with bread.

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet brown the sausage (apprx 8 minutes).
• Then remove onto a plate.
• Then put in chicken and cook for 5 minutes, turning once.
• Put on plate with sausage.
• Heat oil in the skillet and add the garlic and rosemary and saute for 1 minute.
• Then add potatoes and water and cover and cook for 15 minutes.
• Then push potatoes over to the side of skillet and add back in the chicken and sausage.
• Add in the salt, pepper, wine, vinegar, and red peppers.
• Cover and cook an additional 35 minutes, when chicken registers 170*.
• Take chicken and sausage back out onto plate, and cover.
• Cover skillet back up and cook potatoes, until they are tender (apprx 8 minutes).
• Pour over chicken.

Steps:

• Combine the pork butt, garlic, paprika, fennel seeds, salt, pepper, cayenne, anise, parsley, and red wine in a large bowl and toss well to coat. Refrigerate covered overnight or up to 24 hours.
• Pass the mixture through a meat grinder fitted with a medium die. (Alternately, transfer to a food processor in 2 batches and process until finely ground.) To test the seasoning, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small skillet, and cook about 2 teaspoons of the mixture. Adjust seasonings, to taste.
• Using the sausage attachment on a mixer, stuff the meat into the casings, if being used. Twist and tie off to make 4-inch sausages. Alternately, shape into patties. Cook sausage in usual manner, making sure the internal temperature of the sausage links reaches at least 150 degrees F. Uncooked sausage can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days or freeze and use within 3 months.

Steps:

• Place the pork and red wine vinegar in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, paprika, red pepper flakes, fennel seed, brown sugar, oregano, and thyme. Knead until flecks of spice are evenly distributed through the sausage.
• Divide the sausage into thirds, and form into 3 logs; wrap each in plastic wrap. Place wrapped sausage into a freezer bag before freezing, or store in refrigerator for at least 12 hours before cooking.
