Ingredients

12 ounce Italian chicken sausage (fully cooked, sliced)
2 can canned cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
5 ounce baby spinach
3 clove garlic (minced)
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and brown for 5 minutes, turning occasionally until nicely caramelized. Transfer sausage to a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3 minutes until tomatoes soften and release their juices.
Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth, dried Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
Add the drained cannellini beans and browned chicken sausage back into the skillet. Simmer gently for 7 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and everything is heated through.
Stir in the fresh baby spinach by handfuls until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve immediately in shallow bowls.

Notes

Cannellini beans absorb the savory broth and pan juices beautifully while keeping prep under 30 minutes.
