Step 4: Season the Vegetables
Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir everything together so the vegetables are evenly coated with seasoning.
Step 5: Return the Sausages
Nestle the browned sausages back into the skillet with the peppers and onions. Pour in the chicken broth or water. This creates steam, helping the sausages cook through while keeping everything juicy.
Step 6: Simmer to Perfection
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for 15–20 minutes, turning the sausages once or twice, until they are fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Step 7: Final Touch
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes if you want a slightly thicker sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
