I need to cook with chicken sausage more often! This was the perfect recipe to start with. Thanks for a great recipe!
You’re welcome!
This is so delicious! I added a few mushrooms because we love them. I didn’t have zucchini but used yellow squash and it was fine. I served it with Basmati rice and Yum Yum sauce. Thanks for the recipe!
Those all sound like delicious changes! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Mild flavor so my daughter added Sriracha sauce to her portion and loved it.
That sounds great!
Absolutely delicious!!!! Used chicken sausage with spinach and feta. Scrumptious!
Yay! That sounds like great additions! Love it!
Oh that sounds amazing and delicious can u pls share the recipe? Thank u
I have beef sausage. Anyone tried that instead of chicken?
Melissa, I hope if someone has tried it with beef sausage they will respond! I personally think it would work just fine as a substitute. Enjoy!
Hi Becky, I have as I love all sausage , just not as healthy, but tasted great
Yeah, any sausage works great in this recipe. I’m glad you loved it!:)
We love veggies so I added yellow squash, mushrooms, and eggplant. Turned out great!
Mmm! I love the addition of more vegetables. Those sound amazing!

Do you knows the calories per portion ? I can’t find any information?
I’m so glad you loved it! I don’t have nutrition information on this recipe. Sorry, but you can find a calorie calculator online to help.
Very good, although a bit salty for my husband’s and my taste. Used a combination of zucchini and yellow squash because I was trying to use up what I had in my fridge. Will definitely make again with half the salt.
Thanks for the feedback! You can always adjust the amount of salt to your liking. I hope you do make it again!
This was delicious! I couldn’t find chicken sausage in my local market so I used Italian sausage and soaked up some of the grease from them before adding the veggies. Also added in sliced mushrooms and asparagus. Delicious!
Oh, I love that! It sounds amazing!
An the ingredients thru my online program and only about 250 calories per serving depending on the brand of chicken sausage. Used hot paprika as we love a bit of spicy in our food. Very yummy and the veggie load is fantastic! Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome! Hot paprika sounds like a fabulous addiction!
This looks so good! Do you think leftovers would freeze well?
Thanks! I think so! I haven’t tried it though. Please let me know how it goes.
I used sweet potatoes! Loved the combination. Great recipe. Thank you
Trying this tonight for my boyfriend and I…I’m sooo excited 🙂
Yay! I hope you both love it!
Making tonight but substituting sweet potatoes for red potatoes. I do this often and it always comes out great. Hoping this will too!
That sounds amazing! Enjoy!
Can you use yukon gold potatoes?
Yes
Do you have nutritional info for this recipe by chance?
I do not but there are a lot of great free nutritional calculators online. Thanks for your interest in this recipe!
We loved this recipe, made it exactly as written except used chicken sausage with jalapeños as we had them in freezer. Will definitely make this again, next time may add yellow squash and baby fresh spinach! Five stars!!
Chicken sausage with jalapenos sounds delicious! Thanks so much for making it and commenting!
Think I can do this in an air fryer?
I think so! I JUST recently got one so I’m no expert yet and can’t tell you exactly how to do it but I am sure it would work and taste amazing! Maybe put the potatoes in first for 8-10 minutes? Then add the rest of the ingredients.
Can this be made ahead of time and heated up for a crowd?
Yes, that should work! I would heat it up again in a skillet, toaster oven, oven, or air-fryer.
Made this tonight for dinner and it was delicious! Love a dinner that requires lots of veggies. We had the apple flavored sausage and it worked perfectly here. Sometimes the flavor of a one pot dinner can get boring, but not this dish. The red potatoes cooked up beautifully and all the flavors worked together nicely. Added to my recipe files! 🙂 Thank you!
Fantastic! This recipe is so great because of the variety of textures, colors, and flavors. SO glad you loved it!
Hi, I’m new to your site, can I air fryer this recipe? Thank you.
I haven’t tried it but it should work out. The potatoes will need longer to cook than the rest of the ingredients.
Enjoyed this recipe, was a perfect one skillet dinner. Thank you
You’re welcome!
Eating this as I type. Looked for a recipe for chicken sausage which I had in my freezer and tossed into the fridge to thaw. Need to go to the store but happened to have all these ingredients on hand with little tweaks. Used baby red potatoes, had only a half of a red pepper, added a small yellow squash. When the sausage was done, I removed it from the skillet (had a bigger package than called for) then added the veggies to the pan. Once done I added back in the potatoes and sausage. Long story short, this is a delicious dish and my husband said we need to make it again! Many thanks!!
You are welcome! That’s great it worked out with what you had on hand!
I made this for food prep lunches. Vary good! It shows four servings, how many calories per serving?
Such a fabulous idea! I love having this recipe for lunches throughout the week. I don’t have nutrition information on this recipe. Sorry, but you can find a calorie calculator online to help.
I thought this was so yummy! Thank you.
You’re welcome!
