Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 8 ounces pork sausage casing removed
  • 1 medium zucchini diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper diced
  • ½ medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add the ground chicken and pork sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the meat is browned and no longer pink.
  • Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, ensuring the meat is well seasoned.
  • Add the diced zucchini and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference.
Feel free to swap out the vegetables for others that are in season or that you prefer, just be mindful of their carb content if you are strictly following a keto diet.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Ensure that the pork sausage you use is keto-friendly and does not contain added sugars or fillers that could increase the carb content.
