One Pot Chicken Sausage and Rice is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. You can have this healthy weeknight meal on the table in under an hour!
Equipment
- 1 Large Pan
Ingredients
- 12 Ounces Chicken and Apple Sausage I used the brand Applegate!
- 4 Cups Cubed Butternut Squash
- 3 Cups Chicken Broth
- 3-4 Cups Baby Spinach
- 1 Cup Uncooked Basmati Rice
- 1 Sweet Onion, Diced
- 2-4 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Start by thinly slicing the chicken sausage and add it into a large pan with olive oil. Sauté on medium heat until they're golden brown on both sides. Then remove the cooked sausage from the pan and set aside.
- Next, add in a little more olive oil along with the cubed butternut squash, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cover the pan and stir every few minutes until the butternut squash is tender.
- Once the butternut squash is tender, add in the chicken broth and use an immersion blender to make the creamy sauce. (You can also transfer into a blender.)
- Add the uncooked rice and chicken sausage into the sauce and stir well. Cover the pan and let simmer on low until it's ready. Finish by folding in the baby spinach and serve hot!
Notes
Expert Tips
- Slice sausages thinly to create the perfect bite!
- If the rice needs a little more liquid to cook, feel free to add some extra chicken broth.
- Do not fold in the spinach until the rice is done cooking or it will get overcooked.
