Ingredients


How to Make It

Step 1: Sauté the Sausage

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Veggies

In the same skillet, add bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 3: Combine & Finish

Return the chicken sausage to the skillet. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar (if using) and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Serve as-is for a low-carb meal, over rice for something hearty, or with crusty bread to soak up the flavors!
