  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken sausage, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green), sliced
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.

  3. Stir in bell pepper strips and cook until they soften slightly but remain crunchy, around 5-7 minutes.
  4. Season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine. Let the flavors meld for another 3-5 minutes.
  5. Serve immediately over rice or pasta, or enjoy on its own.

  • For a spicy kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes.
  •  Swap bell peppers for zucchini for a different flavor profile.
  •  Let leftovers cool before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
