Sautéed Brussel Sprouts With Chicken Sausage

Sautéed brussel sprouts with chicken sausage is the perfect light dinner that keeps you full and satisfied. Brussel sprouts are sautéed until dark brown and crispy. Then mixed together with chicken sausage that’s nice and golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.

This recipe is so easy and simple. Perfect for one of those nights when you have zero energy or willpower to cook dinner.

I must say, I never really was a huge fan of brussel sprouts, until one time when I was cooking them for my husband who absolutely loves them. I happened to burn them, and crisp them up a little too much, or what I thought would be too much. But honestly, I thought they tasted way better that way, and my husband agreed!

Obviously, you don’t want to blacken them so much they are literally burnt. You don’t want that burnt bitter taste. When they are cooked longer and get a tad darker…the taste is amazing. I can proudly say that I am now a fan of brussel sprouts.

So, the goal for this recipe is to get some dark brown color on your brussel sprouts.

I used a roasted garlic chicken sausage for this recipe. If you have a preference for the type of sausage…you can use whichever type. Chicken sausage, along with turkey sausage is a healthier option.

You want to make sure to dice your sausage into thin coins. And when cutting your brussel sprouts, make sure to obviously wash them beforehand, and cut off the little stem nub, and slice in half the long way. They will start to shed the layers a little bit, but that’s ok. They will stay together for the most part.

Seasoning brussel sprouts is very important. It adds so much flavor to them when they are cooking. The brussel sprouts cook first before the sausage. They do take longer to cook.

You want to make sure that when placing them in the saute pan that they are all face down first. You want to brown the cut side first. Then, when the time is up for them on that side, try to flip them all over on the other side to cook more.

When the brussel sprouts start to turn brown, you want to add your cut up chicken sausage.

This dish can be served many different ways. It can be served on top of rice or quinoa, mixed in with pasta, or alone by itself! It is very filling, satisfying and delicious.

Enjoy!!
