One pan roast chicken with sausages and new potatoes. An easy fuss free roast chicken dinner to enjoy with your family, without all of the hassle of cooking a full roast.

Sometimes you want a roast chicken dinner, without all the hassle of cooking a full roast, which for my family means roasties, parsnips, cauliflower cheese, creamed leeks, carrots, stuffing...you get the picture! It takes quite a bit of time and effort.

This one pan roast chicken is a good compromise because you get all the lovely flavours from the roast chicken, without all the separate dishes to cook and wash up afterwards.

The chicken is cooked in the pan with the new potatoes and sausages, and I usually steam some broccoli to go with it.

Up the veggies by adding in some whole baby carrots or cubed sweet potatoes to the pan, along with the chicken, new potatoes and sausages.

Make an easy gravy using gravy granules. Add some of the cooking juices from the pan and no-one will know it's not homemade!

Spice it up by adding a pinch of chilli flakes to the dish after cooking.

Stir any leftover roast chicken into a risotto or pasta dish the next day. My chicken, smoked bacon and tomato pasta recipes utilises leftover roast chicken.
