- 3 large Bell peppers (assorted colors, sliced)
- 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken sausages into 1-inch pieces and set them aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the chicken sausages to the empty space. Cook for 2-3 minutes to brown the sausage pieces slightly, then stir everything together.
Step 6
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and add the dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let everything simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve hot on its own, over rice, or alongside crusty bread. Enjoy your Italian Chicken Sausage and Peppers Skillet!
