Ingredients Needed

Here is an overview of the ingredient list. Keep scrolling for the full recipe.

  • Sausages (see below)
  • Bell Peppers
  • Poblano Peppers
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Diced Tomatoes
  • Chicken Broth
  • Spices (garlic powder, cumin, chili powder)

A Note on the Sausage

My recipe calls for the fully cooked chicken sausage. I like using these because they are a bit lower in fat, they’re delicious and they are already fully cooked which means dinner is on the table that much faster.

If you wanted to use a different type of sausage, you can! If you are using uncooked sausage, you can take it out of the casing and cook it first before you add the onions.

How to Make Sausage and Peppers

This is one of those throw everything into the pan types of dinner and we love it. You can scroll down for the full recipe but here is an overview of the steps needed to make this dish.

  1. Cook the garlic, onions and peppers.
  2. Add in the sausage.
  3. Pour in diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and spices.
  4. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. And serve!

How to Serve It

You can get creative with how you serve this dish!

I make this dish on nights when we need something really quick, so I often serve it as a stand alone dish. It’s also great served over rice, roasted spaghetti squash or cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal, but would also be great with rice or gluten-free pasta as well!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 bell peppers sliced
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1/2 poblano pepper thinly sliced (optional)
  • 4 cooked chicken sausage links (I used a mix of spicy Italian and andouille), sliced (see note)
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili power more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce optional

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds or just until fragrant.
  • Add sliced bell peppers, onion and poblano pepper to the skillet; let cook until the onion is translucent.
  • Add sausage to the large skillet with the peppers and onions and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and spices. Mix well.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust spices as desired.

Notes

If you are using uncooked chicken sausage, remove the casing and cook the chicken sausage and garlic together in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until the sausage is brown on both sides. This should take around 5 minutes, stirring often.
