Easy Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the Chicken: Mix seasonings and coat the chicken. Set aside.
- Sear the Chicken: In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then set it aside.
- Cook the Veggies and Sausage: In the same skillet, add sausage and veggies (add more oil if needed). Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the sausage browns and veggies soften. Season with a bit more all-purpose seasoning.
