Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound apple chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and sliced into 1/4-inch wedges
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 cup Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
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 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced apples, carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini, and halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle the dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, and kosher salt over the vegetables. Stir well.
Pour in the chicken broth, cover the skillet, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and apples.
Cook uncovered for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and any excess liquid to evaporate.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
