SKILLET STUFFING WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toast bread on a rimmed baking sheet until dry, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a 12" cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking into pieces with a spatula, until browned, about 7 minutes. Add onion, mushrooms, and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 8-10 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk eggs, broth, cheese, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add sausage mixture, reserving skillet, and bread and toss to combine. Let sit 5 minutes, toss again, then pack back into skillet.
• Bake stuffing until lightly browned on top and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

ITALIAN CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM SKILLET

Steps:

• In a large skillet or Dutch oven, season chicken with seasoning salt pepper and garlic powder (can use regular salt).
• Brown the chicken in oil on medium heat (about 3 minutes on both sides) remove to a plate and set aside.
• In the same skillet, saute onion, bell pepper, celery, fresh garlic, dried basil, dried oregano and mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes (add in crushed hot pepper flakes, if using).
• Add in the tomato paste and stir for about 1 minute.
• Add in the stewed tomatoes and wine (if using) stir until combined.
• Season with more salt and pepper if desired; cover and simmer tomato mixture for for about 20-25 minutes.
• Add in the browned chicken back to the skillet, cover and simmer for another 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and juices run clear.
• *NOTE* You might want to add in a couple of teaspoons of sugar if you think that the tomato sauce is too "acidy".
