HOW TO MAKE 15-MINUTE SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS SKILLET

Start by slicing the sausages and peppers.

Rinse rice, then add to a pot with bone broth in place of water for added protein and flavor. Let cook according to package instructions while you make the sausage and peppers skillet.

In a medium to large skillet, heat on medium to high heat. Once hot, add the extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil), then add the sliced sausage to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes each side.

Add in peppers, toss, then cover with a lid, and let steam for 2 to 3 minutes to soften. Remove the lid, then stir occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes.

Plate and serve the sausage and peppers on top of the cooked bone broth rice with crumbled feta, flakey sea salt, ground pepper, drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and red chili flakes, if using. Enjoy!

RECIPE SUBSTITUTIONS & QUESTIONS

A few easy swaps you can make for this one-pan dinner include using whichever protein you prefer – try making with turkey sausage, or your favorite ground meat like chicken, turkey or beef. For a low-carb, paleo-friendly alternative, try cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.

And vegetable broth or regular chicken broth would also work as a sub for the bone broth.

The chicken sausage and peppers skillet reheats well, making it a great option for a quick, healthy lunch or dinner throughout the week.

What can I serve with this chicken sausage skillet?

This chicken sausage and peppers skillet is truly delicious on its own or served with the bone broth rice. But you could also try serving it with a crisp green salad or some roasted potatoes for added nutrition. Another option is to pair it with a slice of gluten-free bread or avocado for some healthy fats. For extra flavor, try drizzling a little balsamic glaze over the top.
