Chicken Apple Sausage & Sweet Potato Skillet Bowl with sweet potatoes, chicken apple sausage, baby kale and eggs in a charcoal ceramic bowl

Chicken apple sausage is mildly sweet, so it pairs naturally with sweet potatoes and slow-browned onions. Baby kale wilts in a minute at the end.

Why this recipe works

Cooking everything in one skillet lets the sausage fat season the vegetables. Covering the pan sets the eggs with steam.

Ingredient notes

Even fully cooked sausage should be reheated to 165°F (74°C).

Common mistakes

  • Rushing the onions.
  • Crowding the sweet potatoes.

What to serve with it

Hot sauce or Dijon mustard.

Meal prep

The hash keeps well; cook eggs fresh.

Cooking tips

Let the onions brown slowly. Cover the eggs so the whites set.

Swaps and variations

Use spinach instead of kale. Leave out the eggs for a lighter bowl.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate within 2 hours for up to 4 days. Reheat to 165°F (74°C).
