Pork

Chicken Sausage Skillet

My sister Mary, an excellent cook, shared this wonderful recipe—I've always loved its tantalizing blend of ingredients. It came to mind immediately when I saw the announcement for CW's Savory Stir-Fry and Skillet Suppers contest. (I didn't tell Mary I entered it. What a nice surprise it will be when she sees her recipe printed in the magazine!)

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup sliced zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 to 3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 to 3/4 pound italian sausage links, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • hot cooked rice

Directions:

  • In a large skillet, saute the onion, green pepper, mushrooms and zucchini in oil until tender. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon; set aside.
  • Add chicken and sausage to skillet; cook until meat is no longer pink. Drain. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic, basil and oregano.
  • Return vegetables to pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until heated through. Serve with rice.
