Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1 large onion, sliced
2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add sausage to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in diced tomatoes (with juice), chicken broth, oregano, and basil. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to blend.
Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
Serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or over rice.
Notes
You can use sweet or hot Italian sausage, depending on your preference for spice.
For a brighter flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
If you have fresh herbs like parsley, sprinkle some on top for extra freshness.
This dish is great for meal prepping; leftovers taste even better the next day.
