Chicken Sausage, Spelt, and Pepper Skillet
- 2 Tbsp. raw coconut oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. raw chicken sausage, chopped into 1/2 inch chunks, casings removed
- 1 cup uncooked spelt
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups sliced stemmed cremini (baby bella) mushrooms
- 2 (14.5 oz.) cans diced tomatoes, with their juices
- 2 tsp. dried oregano
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a heavy cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and chili powder and cook until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken sausage and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until browned.
Add the spelt and broth. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes with their juices, and oregano. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the vegetables and spelt are tender and liquid is absorbed. Spoon skillet mixture into a bowl and feel the goodness.
