Italian Chicken Sausage Peppers Onions Recipe
Make an easy 30 minute skillet meal with sweet Italian chicken sausage, bell peppers, and onions! Low carb, macro friendly, and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pkg sweet Italian chicken sausages uncooked (usually 5 per package) 454 g
- 2 large bell peppers, sliced red & green 328 g
- 1 large onion, sliced 200 g
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup marinara sauce 250 g
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spritz a little olive oil cooking spray in the pan.
- Sear the Italian chicken sausages on each side for about 4-5 minutes each. Set them aside on a plate.
- Add the sliced onions and peppers to the skillet. Saute for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the marinara sauce to the pan, as well as salt and pepper to taste, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Combine with the vegetables. Scrape up any bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken sausage links back to the pan, turn the burner down to medium-low heat, and put a lid on the skillet. Simmer everything until it's cooked through, for about 7-8 minutes and the sausage links have an internal temperature of 165 F.
Notes
- The macros do not include the sprinkle of parmesan or the hearts of palm pasta, feel free to add extras since this is such a calorie recipe.
- You can use precooked sausages as well, they'll just take less time to cook. As would sliced sausage pieces instead of whole links.
- If you don't have a skillet with a lid, just put an aluminum baking sheet or foil over the top of the skillet instead.
