Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cooked sausage in this recipe. Simply slice the sausage and add it to the skillet with the vegetables. If you don't have chicken broth on hand, you can use water instead. However, the chicken broth adds a lot of flavor to the dish, so it is recommended if possible.
