Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 ounces smoked sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and slice the smoked sausage into rounds about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the smoked sausage slices and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage and set aside with the cooked chicken.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the peppers are slightly softened.

Step 6

Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing them to slightly soften.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken and sausage to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well to combine.

Step 8

Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot on its own, or over rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
