Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 12 oz total) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 oz (cooked) Andouille sausage
• 1 medium (sliced into strips) Red bell pepper
• 1 medium (sliced into strips) Green bell pepper
• 1 medium (sliced into strips) Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium (sliced into thin strips) Onion
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes). Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan.

Step 3

Cook the andouille sausage slices for about 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the chicken pieces and season with smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the garlic, onion, and all three types of bell peppers. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 6

Return the cooked andouille sausage and chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to slightly reduce.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot as a standalone dish or over a bed of brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal (adjust points accordingly if serving with grains).
