Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Mixture
Begin by gathering your ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until the spices are evenly incorporated into the chicken. This step is essential to ensure every bite is flavorful. Once mixed, let the chicken mixture rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the flavors to blend, making the sausages even tastier.
-
Step 2: Shape the Sausages
Next, take the chicken mixture and shape it into sausages. Take a handful of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a log about 10-12 cm long and 3 cm in diameter. You can also create smaller sausage patties if you prefer. Once all the mixture is shaped into sausages, set them aside while you prepare the vegetables.
-
Step 3: Prepare the Roasted Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 200°C. While the oven is heating, chop the bell peppers, onions, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Spread the vegetables out evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roasting the vegetables will bring out their natural sweetness and add a delicious flavor to your meal.

Step 4: Grill the Sausages and Roast the Vegetables
Place the baking sheet with the vegetables in the preheated oven and roast for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. While the vegetables are roasting, heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Once hot, add the shaped chicken sausages to the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, turning until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 75°C.
-
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the sausages are cooked and the vegetables are tender and golden, remove both from heat. Let the sausages rest for about 5 minutes before serving. On a plate, arrange the grilled chicken sausages alongside the roasted vegetables. This colorful dish not only looks great but also tastes amazing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your healthy, homemade meal!
