Instructions

Heat the oil and brown the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is lightly browned and heated through.
Add and cook the vegetables: Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion to the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the seasonings evenly and cook the vegetables for 6–8 minutes until they are tender yet still retain a slight crispness.
Add cherry tomatoes and finish cooking: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly without turning mushy.
Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot either on its own or over your favorite grain like rice, quinoa, or pasta for a more filling meal.

Notes

Serve over cooked rice, quinoa, or pasta to make the meal more substantial.
You can substitute or add other seasonal vegetables based on availability and preference.
Check the ingredients of the chicken sausage if you require strict gluten-free adherence.
