Prep Time: 10 Min Total Time: 20 Min Total Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 6 fully cooked chicken sausage links (we used Aidell’s)
• 3 bell peppers, any color, seeds removed and sliced 
• 1 medium onion, any color, sliced
• 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil (or spray)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup sauerkraut
• 2.5 cups cooked rice (or cauliflower rice, roasted veggies, pasta or potatoes)

Instructions

Air Fryer Method:

• Preheat air fryer to 375–400°F.
• Toss sausage, peppers, and onions together with oil and seasonings. Add to the air fryer basket.
• Cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
• In the last minute, add sauerkraut (if using) and stir to heat through.
• Enjoy served over rice, cauliflower rice, roasted veggies, pasta or potatoes.

Skillet Method:

• Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add1 tbsp oil.
• Sear sausage slices until browned on both sides (about 3–4 minutes).
• Add peppers and onions. Cook 2 min before stirring to allow some charring, stir and cook 2-3 min more or until desired softness.
• Stir in sauerkraut during the last minute to heat.
• Enjoy served over rice, cauliflower rice, roasted veggies, pasta or potatoes.

Tips

• When chicken sausages go on sale, stock up! They freeze well and thaw quickly in warm water.
• Customize with different sausage flavors or add spinach for extra greens.
