Notes

*I prefer to use a mild Italian sausage for this recipe, but smoked apple works quite well too! Use what you like to get your preferred flavor profile.
**Broccoli and bell peppers are great for stir-fry, but feel free to swap in whatever veggies you have on hand. Cauliflower, mushrooms, and water chestnuts, are great additions.
Becky's Top Tips:
  • Cut the peppers and onions thinly and of similar sizes so that they cook evenly.
  • 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!
Storage: Store chicken sausage stir fry in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days, or in the freezer for 3 months.
