This Chicken Sausage with Zucchini is the perfect quick and easy meal for those busy weekday nights……that is also Gluten Free and Paleo! 
Being on a strict diet I have learned that most meals that I am able to eat cannot be prepared quickly. That can make it really tough when sometimes you just want, or need, a quick meal! I have been following the AIP protocol to help get rid of some other autoimmune symptoms that were not going away with just my gluten free diet. One thing I can have is sausage as long as it is organic, gluten free, and doesn’t have any other ingredients that are on the food no-no list. I found a few sausages that work for me and are great for a quick lunch or dinner! 
These ones I find at Sprouts.
These ones I get at Costco. Both are super yummy and will work great in this recipe. I say recipe but there is really not much to it and more of an idea! I will share the basic amounts that I used but of course this is so easy to customize and add more or less depending on the size of your group.
In a large skillet over medium heat add some avocado oil. This is what I use below. I switched to avocado oil whenever I am going to be cooking with heat because it has a high smoke point. Last time I was at Costco I saw they finally carry the big bottles of this! (This is not the big bottle in the picture.)
To the skillet add diced onion. Then slice up the zucchini and add that to the skillet. Stir around and season to taste with pink salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Feel free to add more avocado oil while cooking if needed. I often like to. Continue cooking and occasionally stirring while you slice up the sausage. I like to slice it on a diagonal. Add in the sausage and heat through until warm, both of the sausages I pictured above are already cooked.
That is it! A super quick and easy meal that is healthy and really yummy too!
