    A delicious alternative to the classic fat-filled pork breakfast sausage: Chicken Breakfast Sausage, made with 99% lean ground chicken.

    Who doesn't love breakfast meats?! Bacon, country ham, sausage... yasssssssss.  If I could eat them all every day without dying early, I totally would.  Instead of doing without, I came up with a much better solution:

    Chicken Breakfast Sausage.

    Chicken Breakfast Sausage

    My chicken breakfast sausage recipe has all the herbs and spices from classic pork sausage, but mixed with the super lean ( 99% ) ground chicken instead of greasy pork.  Nothing else.

    I'll admit, I was worried. I thought they might turn out like little sausage-flavored hockey pucks.  I was SO thrilled when I took a bite into one of these little chicken breakfast sausage patties hot off the pan and discovered that they were juicy, just like old-fashioned sausage!

    I was so thrilled with the flavor of these little guys and with how absolutely simple they were to make, that I decided to make a video showing you exactly how easy they are!

    I mean, or you can just follow the recipe below. Whatever makes you feel good!

    Course: Breakfast
    Prep Time: 3 minutes
    Cook Time: 8 minutes
    Total Time: 11 minutes
    Servings: 10 sausages
    Author: Basil and Bubbly

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb 99% lean ground chicken
    • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
    • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 1/16 teaspoon marjoram
    • 1/16 teaspoon cloves
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

    Instructions

    • Stir all ingredients together until combined.
    • Set a medium pan over medium heat, and spray it with cooking oil.
    • Scoop out sausage directly onto the hot pan -- you may need to work in batches to use all of the sausage mixture. Flatten each scoop. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip. Cook four more minutes.

    Notes

    Use an ice cream scoop to make portioning out the sausages even easier.

      This was not good. I followed the recipe exactly and the flavors are off.

        In what way were the flavors off? Too much or too little of something? I have made this recipe many time and loved it - and have received quite a few emails from readers who also loved it, but of course I am always looking to improve!

        Delicious! Our one pattie on an English muffin with an egg. I can't have dairy. I make it with French toast and pancakes. My husband loves it! So much better than pork sausage and better for you. I substituted 100% maple syrup for brown sugar and added a little fennel seed. Thanks ๐Ÿ˜‹.
