What it is
This is a package of pre-cooked chicken sausage. It is made with ground chicken and seasoned with sun-dried tomatoes and basil. The sausage is fully cooked and frozen, making it a convenient option for quick meals. The blend of savory chicken with the sweet tang of sun-dried tomatoes and the aromatic notes of basil creates a distinct flavor profile.
How people cook with it
This sausage is versatile and can be incorporated into many dishes.
- Added to pasta dishes
- Cooked with eggs
- Simmered in sauces
- Grilled for sandwiches
To prepare, you can thaw the sausage in the refrigerator overnight or use the defrost setting on your microwave. Once thawed, it can be heated through in a skillet over medium heat until browned and warmed. Alternatively, it can be added directly to simmering sauces or stews, where it will heat up as the dish cooks. For grilling, place the sausage on a preheated grill and cook for a few minutes per side until heated through and slightly charred.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional pork sausage, this chicken sausage is typically leaner. The inclusion of sun-dried tomatoes and basil provides a Mediterranean-inspired flavor that is different from the more common fennel or sage seasonings found in other varieties.
How to keep the rest
Keep this sausage frozen until ready to use. Once thawed, it should be refrigerated and consumed within 3-4 days. Store any unused portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
