If you are looking for a simple meal idea, this Chicken Sausage and Veggie Skillet with Brown Rice is for you!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 package chicken sausage links, sliced Or sausage links of choice. I used a jalapeno mango
- ¾ cup chopped onions
- ¾ cup chopped bell peppers
- 4 cups sliced zucchini
- 1 cup sliced yellow squash
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped
- 2 teaspoons za'atar seasoning mix
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups cooked brown rice
Instructions
- Slice all your veggies and sausage.
- Heat oil in pan over medium heat.
- Add in your sliced sausages, onions, and bell peppers. Let them cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
- Next add in your zucchini, yellow squash, and garlic. Let this cook, stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes.
- To this add the spinach, tomatoes, za'atar, and 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Last in is the cooked brown rice. Mix this in, and put a lid on the pan. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes. Remove the lid and mix gently. Cover and let it cook another few minutes. Once it is heated through, it is ready to go!
- That is it. Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it!
Notes
- The beauty of this dish is in its simplicity and ease. Don't overcook the veggies or this dish. It really should come together quickly.
- As mentioned above, I love to add brown rice to the last. If not, you wind up with a really mushy skillet as the brown rice releases all its starch and even breaks down if cooked too long.
- Make sure you have a good, thick bottom pan to cook in. If you are cooking in a thin, cheap pan, this will easily burn. You don't have to use this enameled pan as I do, a thick stainless steel pan works, as does a cast iron.
