Apple chicken sausage and brown rice

I love Aidells’ chicken and apple smoked chicken sausage. It’s a precooked chicken sausage that is full of flavor and perfect for weekday meals. The sweet apple with the smoky chicken reminds me of fall even though it’s still 100 degrees outside. It makes me a smidge antsy for apple cider, pumpkin pie and states that actually have autumn.

In Kevin’s introductory meal to the wonder that is Aidells (a staple of mine from college), I sliced up the sausage, sautéed it with chopped onions and served over brown rice.

It’s really that easy. Sometimes I like to throw in chopped apple pieces to bring out more apple flavor. I’ve actually never tried any other flavor from Aidells’ product line because the chicken and apple flavor is so dang good.

Do you have go-to recipes from back in the day that you still use? Other college staples of mine still on rotation include egg sandwiches for breakfast and my dad’s angel hair pasta recipe.

I feel like I started out so strong in the week then just got busy with other things. I have been focusing a lot more on cardio as you can see, while still maintaining my strength training. I hope to keep that up this week.

Hope everyone’s week is off to a great start!

  1. Good job with the workouts! I have got to get my hands on that sausage :)

  2. Great idea for a fun weeknight recipe. :) I need more things in my rotation that look so yummy AND easy!

  3. Awesome job with those workouts! I like the variety you have.
    And that recipe… yum :)

  4. Er

    I have never tried chicken sausage. I always mean to buy and it give it a shot but I never follow through.

  5. World of Beer is worth skipping a workout, but of course I’d say that. :) The sausage sounds good. I’m a huge sausage fan (obviously since I had garlic chicken sausage it last night and Sunday night!)

  6. I still make a tuna salad recipe from back in the day! Other than that, my “back in the day” recipes include grilled cheese and sloppy joes – made with manwich lol!

  7. I’m a HUGE chicken sausage fan. It’s so easy, completely versatile and delicious! It’s always in my fridge/freezer :)

  8. Looks like a super workout week! The world of beers would be so exciting!
