So Many Veggies

This creamy sun dried tomato chicken and sausage skillet is packed with veggies. You’ll get your fix of asparagus, mushrooms and onions in addition to garlic and fresh basil! Plus, the combo of chicken and sausage is quite tasty, too!

Dairy-Free + Creamy

We love creamy dishes, but without the dairy. Our favorite way to achieve a creamy sauce is with full fat coconut milk. It has a thicker consistency and loads in the good fats. To mask the coconut taste, we add in onions and garlic. You’d never know it was coconut milk based without reading the recipe!

One Pan Is All You Need

This entire dish will fill up a large cast iron skillet, and it is all made in the single pan! You start by cooking the chicken and heating up the sausages. Then you set them aside for a moment and get the veggies and creamy sauce going. Finally you add back in the chicken and sausage and fresh basil and let it simmer.
