This Low Carb Chicken Sausage and Vegetable Skillet is one of my all-time favorite meals. Healthy, easy, and only dirties one pan!
It is almost embarrassing how many times I have eaten this over the last two weeks. I can’t help it. I just love easy skillet meals. Even though I spend a lot of my time cooking, I seem to eat the same things over and over again. Don’t even let me get started about my obsession with eggs… I love how simple this Chicken Sausage and Vegetable Skillet recipe is to make and how clean, yet satisfying the ingredients are. The great thing about this recipe is that you can really use any meat and veggies you have on hand. There is also the added bonus of only dirtying one pan. Healthy, satisfying and only one pan? I’ll take it!

[…] my surprise when I took the first bite of Peace, Love, and Low Carb’s Chicken Sausage and Vegetable skillet and found that it instantly reminded me of my mother’s tortellini soup. It brought to mind […]

I bet Italian Sausage would taste great. I make variations on this all the time as a quick throw-together meal. I even make a Thai version. 🙂

How many carbs??
I made this last night and it was so good!! I did it with chicken Apple Gouda sausages, so good!
Then I used zucchini, green pepper and mushrooms
I calculated about 9.5 carbs for this dish, is that right?
Valorie says
What kind off sausage has less sugar in it. You suggested kielbasa, how.may carbs is that. I bet that would great in it. How many carbs doesn’t his recipe have?? Thanks
Caroline says
Trader Joe’s carries chicken sausages that do not have sugar: read the label because some of them have sugar and some don’t. I’m doing low-carb, so Aidell’s are out for me. I don’t understand why Aidell’s has to add sugar! You can also make your own sausage with chicken and/or pork, lots of recipes online.

I made this for dinner last night and it was so delicious! I love recipes where you don’t even miss the carbs (because I usually do!) and this is definitely one of those! I used the chicken apple sausage as recommended and this one is going in the regular weekday dinner book for sure!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Awesome! Also happy you enjoyed it!
Jessica Mahon says
This recipe sounds delicious! I think I’m going to make this for dinner tonight! Do you think this would freeze well?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, it freezes and reheats very well.
Shimona says
Oh Lordy, was that delicious! The only difference I made was that I used a package of Hill Shire Farm Beef Sausage Links instead of the chicken sausage links, because that is what I had in my refrigerator. I went out immediately again to buy a multitude of the ingredients because this is going to be a staple in my ketogenic lifestyle. Not only is it delicious, but it is very simple to whip up. Thank you for posting this for all to share.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
