White Bean and Chicken Sausage Skillet with Spinach

Instructions

1. Sauté the sausage. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Cook the vegetables. In the same skillet, cook the onion for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute.
3. Add the beans and spinach. Stir in the white beans and a splash of water or broth. Add the spinach in batches, letting it wilt down. Cook until heated through and the spinach is fully wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Finish and serve. Return the sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and chopped parsley if you like.
