Sautéed peppers and onions top lean chicken sausage in this slimmed-down version of the Italian favorite. For even greater flavor, add some fennel seeds or red pepper flakes—or both—to the peppers and onions. Bell peppers in any color you like can be used instead of the Cubanelle (Italian frying peppers), if desired. Bell peppers do have slightly thicker skins so you may need to increase the cooking time by a minute or two. If you don’t have a grill or would simply prefer an indoor method, you can cook the sausage in a 400°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until browned and done.
