Meat & Protein
- 2 chicken sausages, sliced into half-circles
Vegetables & Fruits
- 4 cups diced potatoes (yellow or gold potatoes recommended)
- 2 medium apples, diced
Oils & Seasonings
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried basil (optional)
- Brown the Sausages: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken sausages. Sauté them while stirring frequently for 3 to 4 minutes until they are browned. Then, remove the sausages from the pan and set them aside.
- Cook the Potatoes: Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the diced potatoes and sauté over medium to medium-high heat. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and encourage browning. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and tender.
- Add Apples and Sausages: Reduce the heat to medium or medium-low. Add 2 tablespoons of water, then add the diced apples and the browned chicken sausages back into the skillet. Season the mixture with salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and dried basil. Stir everything together to combine.
- Simmer and Finish Cooking: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 5 minutes or until the apples have softened and flavors meld together. Stir occasionally if needed. Once done, serve hot.
Notes
- Use a large skillet (12 inches) to ensure enough space for the potatoes to cook evenly and brown nicely.
- Yellow or gold potatoes are preferred because they hold their shape well and offer a buttery flavor.
- Dried basil is optional; you can omit it or substitute with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary if desired.
- To keep this dish gluten-free, ensure the chicken sausages do not contain any gluten fillers.
- The dish can be served as a fulfilling breakfast or a light lunch.
