Ingredients

• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
• 1 cup sliced red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 1 sweet Italian sausage, casing removed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a nonstick skillet. Break up sausage into small pieces and add to the pan; add potato pieces sporadically, flesh-side down. Place chicken pieces throughout the pan, smooth side down. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Sprinkle over Italian herbs. Scatter over sliced onion and bell peppers. Sear over high heat until sausage starts to brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium-high, cover, and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth and cook until reduced by at least half.

Step 3

Stir and squeeze over lemon juice. Taste and adjust if needed. Serve over toasted bread and top with parsley.
