Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 sweet Italian sausages, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients (5 minutes): Slice the bell peppers and onion. Mince the garlic.
  2. Cook the sausages (10 minutes): In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved sausages to the skillet, cut side down. Cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the vegetables (10 minutes): In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Combine and season (5 minutes): Return the sausages to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sausages to heat through.
  5. Serve (2 minutes): Garnish the skillet with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy this dish on its own or over a bed of rice, pasta, or with a side of crusty bread.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can deglaze the skillet with a splash of white wine before adding the chicken broth.

This dish can also be made with hot Italian sausages if you prefer a bit of heat.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the skillet or microwave before serving.

Enjoy this sweet Italian sausage and veggie skillet as a quick, delicious, and colorful meal that’s perfect for any night of the week!
