  1. I made this for dinner last night…it is delicious. Perfect blend of flavors. The only mistake I made was that I doubled the recipe (I have big eaters) and didn't have a skillet big enough to put it in…

    And as an added bonus, the one bowl I had left over I ate for breakfast this morning with two over easy eggs and toast….amazing! I might just use this recipe for a holiday breakfast at some point.

    So glad my search for a candy cane martini recipe at Christmas led me to you… 🙂

  2. 5 stars
    I love skillet meals because it’s all in one pan and so easy to throw together! I like making this on the weekends, it’s such a nice meal to have on a day off.

    1. Hi Gayle,
      This skillet was developed to create a healthier version of sausage and peppers with a healthier lean protein, chicken 🙂 It is full of flavor and you will not miss the sausage. Hope this helps.
