Chicken Breakfast “sausage”
Do you lean towards the same things for breakfast all the time? I find grabbing a yogurt and fruit is so quick, but I also love variety and I find if I make a big batch of these breakfast “sausage” patties and freeze them, it’s just another option at the ready for a quick healthy breakfast!
I love ground chicken, it’s always used in my weekly meal prep, I make meatballs, burgers and brown it up for stuffed peppers and Asian bowls, but this time we’re using it for breakfast
Place 1 pound of ground chicken in a mixing bowl
Add 1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp sage (this is really the key spice that makes it taste like breakfast sausage to me)
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp (or more if you like it hot) cayenne pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
and 1/2 tsp salt, this is my favorite
Mix everything together well
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and form the mixture into approximately 2 inch patties, place an inch or so apart on the sheet
Cook in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Cool completely and freeze in ziplock bag, take 1 or 2 out when ready to eat, they defrost quick, I reheat in microwave and use for egg sandwiches or alongside scrambled eggs.
