Customize Your Veggies:
This recipe is super versatile! Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables. Mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, or eggplant work beautifully and add their own unique flavors.

This dish pairs well with a variety of sides. Serve it over pasta, rice, quinoa, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. Crusty bread is also perfect for soaking up all the delicious juices.
Make It Cheesy:

This skillet reheats wonderfully, making it ideal for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Gluten-Free Option:
Be sure to check the label on your chicken sausage to ensure it’s gluten-free, and pair the dish with gluten-free sides, like rice or quinoa.
Balance the Acidity:
If the tomatoes make the dish a bit too tangy for your taste, add a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey to balance the flavors.
Cooking Tip:
Make sure not to overcook the vegetables to keep them crisp and vibrant. Sauté them just until tender for the best texture.
