Brrrrr.....good morning, ladies. It's a friggid one, that's for sure. They say that it'll be -2 by Friday, just my luck the windchill here in Sask will make it -50! lol
Here's what we're eating this week:
Monday: One Pan Sage Chicken and Sausage (super easy, really yummy recipe that has become one of our favs, we often take it camping as you can make it ahead the night before and keep it in a ziploc bag) w/ roasted potatos;
Tuesday: Leftovers;
Wednesday: Caesar Burgers w/ fries;
Thursday: Cheesy Artichoke Chicken with Pasta;
Friday: Leftovers.
One Pan Sage Chicken and Sausage
Ingredients
1 large onion or 2 small onions
1/2 cup olive oil (not extra-virgin)
2 teaspoons English mustard
1 tablespoon dried sage
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 lemon
1 (4-pound) chicken, jointed into 10 pieces
12 sausages
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, chopped
Directions
Peel and cut the onion into eighths, and put into a freezer bag with the oil, mustard, dried sage, a good grinding of pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cut lemon in half, squeeze juice into bag, and then cut the halves into eighths and add them. Squidge everything around to mix (the mustard needs help to combine) and then add the chicken pieces. Leave to marinade in the refrigerator overnight, or for up to 2 days.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature in its marinade.
Arrange the chicken pieces in a roasting tin skin side up with the marinade, including all the bits and pieces, and tuck the sausages around them. Sprinkle the fresh sage leaves over the chicken and sausages and then put the tin into the oven to cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the sausages over half way through to color them evenly.
Arrange the chicken and sausages on a large platter.
