Say hello to a delicious twist on classic sausages with our Savory Herb Chicken Sausage recipe. Perfect for a light dinner or a hearty breakfast, these sausages are packed with fresh herbs and spices, making every bite a flavorful experience.
Ground chicken is the primary protein, offering a leaner alternative to pork or beef. Breadcrumbs help bind the mixture and give the sausages their shape. Fresh parsley adds a touch of freshness, balancing the richness of the meat. Garlic powder and salt enhance the overall flavor, while black pepper adds a subtle kick. Thyme, sage, and rosemary are the herb trifecta that infuse the sausages with earthy and aromatic notes. A hint of nutmeg gives warmth and depth. Finally, olive oil is used for cooking, ensuring a golden and crispy exterior.
Pair these sausages with a simple side salad for a refreshing contrast. They also make a great addition to a hearty breakfast plate alongside scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes. For a creative twist, slice them up and toss into a pasta dish or a vegetable stir-fry.
Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl. Toss in the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, thyme, sage, rosemary, and nutmeg. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix everything together until the ingredients are well combined.
Next, divide the chicken mixture into eight equal portions. Roll each portion into a sausage shape using your hands. It doesn’t have to be perfect; just aim for a consistent size so they cook evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, gently add the sausages to the pan. Let them cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side. You're looking for a golden-brown crust, which means flavor!
Once cooked through, remove the sausages from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for a few minutes. This rest time helps the juices redistribute, so each bite is moist and flavorful.
