Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 links apple chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced apple chicken sausage to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red onion, carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the zucchini, apple chunks, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables and apples are tender but still hold their shape.
Return the cooked chicken sausage to the skillet. Sprinkle the dried thyme, dried sage, black pepper, and kosher salt over the mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Cook everything together for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sausage to reheat.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.
Serve warm, directly from the skillet.
