As a busy mom with three sons all going in different directions, I rely on recipes that I can prepare earlier in the day. That way, I can take it out of the fridge and pop it in the oven for dinner. One recipe that is a big hit with my family is Chicken Sausage and Peppers. It can be served as a standalone dish or over cauliflower rice or even with your favorite pasta-alternative. 

Serves: 5 

Ingredients:

1 package of Premio chicken sausage

2 bell peppers (sliced)

1 onion

1 clove of garlic (diced) 

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp tomato paste

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, toss sliced peppers, onions and diced garlic. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil, 2 tbsp of tomato paste and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Put in an oven-safe baking dish along with chicken sausage. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook. 
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
4. Cook uncovered for approximately 1 hour or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees.  
5. Stir and enjoy
