A Note on the Sausage
My recipe calls for the fully cooked chicken sausage. I like using these because they are a bit lower in fat, they’re delicious and they are already fully cooked which means dinner is on the table that much faster.
If you wanted to use a different type of sausage, you can! If you are using uncooked sausage, you can take it out of the casing and cook it first before you add the onions.

I make this dish on nights when we need something really quick, so I often serve it as a stand alone dish. It’s also great served over rice, roasted spaghetti squash or cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal, but would also be great with rice or gluten-free pasta as well!
