Full of color, flavor, and comfort, this Sheet Pan Italian Chicken Sausage with White Beans and Peppers recipe is the perfect easy-to-make weeknight meal!
I’ve been making “sheet pan” dinners for forever. That is, before they were actually the hip way to get a tasty meal on the table in quick fashion, with only one pan to clean at the end. There’s no denying the appeal this cooking method brings to busy folks with the goal of nourishing their family with a weeknight dinner.
This recipe for Sheet Pan Italian Chicken Sausage with White Beans and Peppers is full of color, flavor, and comfort. With little effort, this meal comes together for big-time success.

Where I grew up in rural South Dakota, we had a neighbor who made the very best sausage in the whole wide world. The texture and flavor simply could not be beat. But that sausage spoiled me. It made me a sort of “sausage snob”, making it sometimes difficult to now find sausage that I like and will actually buy for my family.
So that’s why I’m excited about this new sliced chicken sausage from Gold’n Plump. This sausage has both texture and flavor that is approved by my own sausage snobbery, and my family.
My family is especially fond of this Italian Cheese & Peppers flavor from Gold’n Plump, a regular addition to our menu these days. The sausage is made with real ingredients: 100% quality boneless skinless chicken thigh meat + aged Parmesan and Asiago cheeses, red and green peppers, and paprika. The chicken is coarsely ground with no fillers (no mushy, funky sausage here!) and then cut on the diagonal, leaving those flavorful additions visible to the eye.
You can find this fully cooked sausage in the freezer section. It comes in re-sealable, zip-top bags – perfect for making a smaller meal for one or two people and then throwing the bag back into the freezer!
Besides sweet peppers and onions, there’s an ingredient that I especially like pairing with sausage. It’s white beans.
The creaminess of the beans is such a lovely compliment to the fresh veggies and the ground meat of the sausage. I added some fresh rosemary and thyme to bring all the flavors of this Italian-inspired meal together.
The final tasty touch before setting this sheet pan Italian chicken sausage dinner before your family is a good sprinkling of freshly shaved Parmesan. Because we all know that just a little more cheese is always a good idea.

If I can’t find this frozen sliced chicken sausage can I substitute a fresh package of chicken sausage and slice myself?
Oh, that sausage looks so good! Gotta try this.
Looks great with so many delicious flavors!
I’m all about the sheet pan meals. The other night, I did some roasted cauliflower and carrots and served it over wild rice. It was simple but totally satisfying.
