Are chicken sausages healthy?
When made with the right ingredients, chicken sausages can be a healthy addition to any diet. Look for ones with no added nitrites or nitrates, fillers, binders, or artificial ingredients. I also like to look for ones that aren’t loaded with sodium.
I love the brand Bilinski as they have great ingredients, a good amount of protein, and not a ton of fat. We get them at Sprouts Farmer Market!

How to make sheet pan sausage and veggies
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roast sweet potatoes. To your large baking sheet, add your potatoes, 1/2 tablespoon oil, 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning, and some salt and pepper. Mix until the veggies are fully coated (I like using my hands). Spread out evenly on the pan and roast for 20 minutes.
- Prep the rest of your ingredients. While the potatoes bake, slice your peppers, onions, and chicken sausage and chop your broccoli.
- Roast sausage and remaining veggies. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add your sliced onion, peppers, broccoli, chicken sausage, remaining 1/2 oil, 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning, and some salt and pepper. Toss to combine and make sure all the veggies are evenly coated. Spread out evenly on the pan and bake for another 25 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken sausages are golden brown.
- Enjoy! I like serving over greens with a drizzle of ranch and some fresh herbs.
What to serve with chicken sausage sheet pan
While you can enjoy this sheet pan meal as is, you can certainly add to it if you like. Here are some of my suggestions:
- greens – serve it over some arugula, spinach, or romaine.
- side salad – greens, tomatoes, and cucumber.
- grains – to add a little more volume to the meal, rice or quinoa would work great.
- cauliflower rice – for a lower-carb option.
- dressing or sauce – I love ranch for this, but any kind of sauce will work!
Storage and reheating
- refrigerator – store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
- freezer – allow to completely cool and store in an airtight container in the freezer. It should last up to 3 months. Let defrost in the fridge overnight.
- reheating – either reheat it by popping it in the microwave for a few minutes or you can reheat it in a skillet on the stovetop.
Substitutions and additions
- olive oil – any kind of neutral oil will work.
- sweet potatoes – white potatoes will work the same. You can also try butternut squash instead.
- red bell pepper – green or yellow bell pepper will work.
- baby broccoli – if you can’t find broccolini, broccoli florets will work the same.
- chicken sausage – use your favorite kind for this recipe. You can also use pork or turkey sausage if that is what you prefer.
- taco seasoning – to change it up, you can use a different spice blend or spices of your choice. You need 1 tablespoon total.
Here are some additions you can add:
- veggies – use any veggies you like! The more the merrier. Zucchini, brussel sprouts, or carrots would be good substitutes or additions. Be mindful of what veggies you are using and if they release liquid when cooking.
- cheese – sprinkle some shredded cheese on top once it’s done.
