Chicken, Sausage, Peppers, and Potatoes

Background and History:

Chicken, Sausage, Peppers, and Potatoes is a beloved Italian-American dish that marries the flavors of tender chicken, savory sausages, sweet bell peppers, and hearty potatoes. Its roots trace back to the traditional Italian recipes brought to the United States by Italian immigrants. Over time, this dish has evolved into a comforting and flavorful one-pan meal that’s perfect for gatherings and family dinners.
