Ingredients

Chicken Apple Rice Bowls

5-6 links chicken apple sausage I use Aidells
1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
1 14 oz bag of peppers and onions I use frozen
2 cloves garlic minced
salt and pepper to taste
2-4 cups cauliflower rice, brown rice or jasmine rice cooked

Mac's Awesome Sauce

1 cup mayo or sub Greek yogurt
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce or coconut aminos if gluten-free
1 tablespoon minced shallots or raw onions
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Slice your chicken apple sausage into thin ¼” slices.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage in olive oil and minced garlic until browned on both sides.
Add the bag of frozen peppers to the sausage. It will get a little watery as it cooks because the veggies are frozen. Simply drain off any excess water as it cooks. Once peppers are tender and sausage is cooked to your liking, add over the top of cooked rice of choice or in a sweet potato.
Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and add a dollop over the top of each bowl. Enjoy!!!
