Chicken and Sausage Skillet Supper image

This is a great weeknight dish. Only one skillet to clean afterwards! I adapted this from a recipe that I found in Southern Living years ago. Of course you can use turkey or chicken sausage and it doesn't change the flavor. If I don't have any left-over chicken then I buy a roasted one from the store.
