Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Course: Dinner, main dish
Cuisine: American, American-Italian

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper (cut into ¼-inch thin strips)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (cut into ¼-inch thin strips)
  • 1 medium onion (cut into thin strips)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 14 ounces Italian chicken sausage (uncooked, sweet or hot, such as Premio or Al Fresco)
  • 8 ounces Italian bread (cut into 4 pieces)

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill or broiler.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat, when hot add the olive oil, peppers and onions, tossing to coat well. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste; cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are soft.
  • Meanwhile, grill the sausage over medium heat, turning until golden and cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes, careful not to burn until it’s cooked through. Set aside on a cutting board and slice sausage in half lengthwise. Place the cooked peppers and onions on a platter alongside the sausage. Serve with crusty bread.
  • Note: To make this entirely on the grill, use a cast iron skillet and cook the onions and peppers over low heat with the grill covered until the onions and peppers are soft, stirring often, then set them aside and grill the sausage.

Notes

No Grill? No Problem
  • Skillet: Brown over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Oven: Broil on a rack 6 inches from the heating element for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 4 to 5 minutes, until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Air Fryer: Air fry at 400°F, 10 to 23 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked through.
