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