Chicken sausage, apple & veggie skillet is a healthy family dinner made in one pan in just 30 minutes! This chicken sausage and apple skillet is made with fall veggies like Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes along with warm fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, thyme, sage and rosemary.Aside from loving how easy this skillet dinner is, I also love how versatile it is.You can swap out/add any ingredients you’d like!If your family hates Brussels sprouts, substitute for broccoli.Or if you’d like you can use a mixture of sweet and regular potato, or even butternut squash!You could even use pears instead of or with the apples for that tart sweetness.Mix it up however you’d like for your own version of a healthy chicken sausage dinner your family will love!

Tips

*I prefer keeping the skin on the sweet potatoes and apples (the skin contains fiber!), however if you prefer you can peel it off.
*You can also use broccoli, pears or butternut squash as mentioned above.
