Chicken sausage and veggies rice skillet meal

I must tell you all that I am in love with a cast iron skillet, I don't know why I did not think of buying one before. Anyways better late than never right! So from the time i bought a cast iron skillet I am thinking of more ways of using it. I absolutely love the way a meatball or a cutlet is so nicely browned and cooked to perfection.

Having said that I also tried a couple of one pan rice meals on the skillet and it turned out so delicious. Will think of more ways of using my wonderful cast iron skillet

If you have any recipes to share using the cast iron skillet please feel free to share it with me :)

Chicken Sausage skillet meal

This recipe is so easy to make and uses one one pan so less cleaning afterwards. I have used chicken sausage, you can use turkey or even pork if you like. I personally prefer chicken sausage over any other but feel free to use any of your choice.
