Oven-Baked Chicken Sausages with Mushrooms
Ingredients for Chicken Sausages with Mushrooms
- 6 chicken sausages
- 2 onions
- 1 cup chanterelle mushrooms
- 2 chili peppers
- 1 tbsp dried carrot
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- salt, oil, pepper
How to Make Oven-Baked Chicken Sausages with Mushrooms
Slice the onions into thick rings. Grease a high-sided baking sheet or a baking dish with oil for frying. Arrange the sliced onions on the bottom of the dish. The onions will act as a cushion, preventing the sausages from burning. Don’t be shy with the onions; the more, the tastier!
Placing sliced onions at the bottom of the baking dish
Place the sausages on top of the onions in a single layer. There’s no need to cut them; you can do that once they are cooked.

Soak the fresh chanterelle mushrooms in cold water for a few minutes to loosen any debris. Then, rinse the mushrooms in a colander. Leave small chanterelles whole and cut larger ones into 2-4 pieces. Add the mushrooms to the dish with the other ingredients.
Slice one chili pepper into rings and cut the other in half lengthwise. If you’re not a fan of spicy food, you can skip this step.
Sprinkle the chicken sausages and mushrooms with dried carrot and smoked paprika, and salt to taste. Dried vegetables (like peppers, carrots, parsnips) pair well with baked meat and poultry, as the pieces absorb the juices and plump up.

Cover the dish tightly with a few layers of aluminum foil. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
Covering with several layers of foil
Place the dish with the chicken sausages into the preheated oven and cook for 35 minutes. For the last 10 minutes, you can remove the foil and broil the dish to get a golden-brown crust.
Baking under foil always releases a lot of juice and fat. A good cook never misses the opportunity to create a fantastic sauce from these ingredients.
For the sauce, toast a tablespoon of all-purpose flour in a skillet until golden brown. Then, pour in the pan drippings from the baking dish and add a couple of tablespoons of smetana (a type of sour cream) or heavy cream. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes to thicken.
Baking for 35 minutes
Serve the chicken sausages with mushrooms hot. A fresh vegetable salad or mashed potatoes would make a great side dish.
