Chicken Sausage with Peppers and Onions is not only nutritious and delicious, it is also a beautiful meal to serve for your family and friends! The colors of the peppers, combined with the bright orange carrots, make it appealing to even the pickiest of eaters. It is so easy to make and just as easy to clean up, because the sausage is already cooked so you are essentially just heating it up in one pan.
You can also make so many variations of this meal just by changing up the ingredients – use zucchini spirals or real pasta if you prefer. The sausage I use in this recipe is my go-to, but with so many different varieties out there, you can pick one that’s your favorite! I have also made this dish with mushrooms, a can of roasted red peppers, and a jar of artichoke hearts. I love to change things up a bit so it’s a little different every time!
