- Don’t overcrowd the pan — this creates steam, which can make the veggies soggy.
- Be careful not to overcook the vegetables — they should still have a nice crunch to them!

How to Make Chicken Sausage Stir Fry Step by Step
Prep: Gather the list of ingredients for this easy stir fry recipe. Mince the garlic and ginger; slice the onion and bell peppers; cut 4 links of pre-cooked chicken sausage into coins; and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Make the Stir-fry Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of soy sauce, ⅓ cup of chicken broth, 1½ tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of sriracha, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 2 minced cloves garlic, a minced 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Set aside. You can also add the ingredients to a jar and shake them together.
Brown the Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once hot, add in the sliced chicken sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes, until browned on the edges. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Cook the Veggies: Add another ½ tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the ½ of a sliced onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add 2 sliced bell peppers, sprinkle with salt, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until veggies are tender-crisp. Add 2 cups of broccoli florets to the skillet.
Add the Sauce: Next, pour in the prepared sauce, and stir to coat the veggies. Cook for a couple minutes longer, until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
