Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 12 oz andouille sausage, sliced ½ inch thick
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into ½-inch strips
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced into ¼-inch wedges
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss chicken and sausage with 2 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning in a large bowl.
  2. Arrange meat on a sheet pan. Toss peppers and onion in the same bowl with remaining 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt, then scatter around the meat.
  3. Roast for 22 to 25 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F and vegetables are charred at the edges.
  4. Squeeze lemon over everything, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately, scraping up the pan drippings.

Notes

If you want a heavier char on the vegetables, turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes and watch carefully. For extra juicy chicken, let the thighs come to room temperature for 15 minutes before roasting.
