Mediterranean Skillet with Alfresco Chicken Sausage

Mediterranean Skillet with Alfresco Chicken Sausage – a quick and healthy weeknight meal that uses what I like

to call “fast food of choice” pre-cooked chicken sausage!

 Flipping through this months Cooking Light I came across an ad from AlFresco Sausage  that had the recipe:Mediterranean Skillet with Alfresco Chicken Sausage, so I earmarked it and added to my menu for this week. I knew it would be a winner right off of the bat because it combined fruit, fresh herbs and just enough rice to make the meal substantial. Plus, with a title like: Mediterranean Skillet with Alfresco Chicken Sausage I knew it was bound to be a healthy choice.

I do not eat much sausage but I DO eat Al Fresco brand sausages. Whether grilled and added to a wrap or sauteed with fresh veggies you cannot go wrong. The healthy protein chicken is transformed into several varieties and just this week I saw Al Fresco sausage patties that would be perfect for a quick weeknight grilled meal in addition to this Mediterranean Skillet with Alfresco Chicken Sausage recipe.

I took shortcuts by using pre-cooked rice (there are great frozen varieties too). I used dried parsley instead of fresh and the rest is as you see here- and on the table in 15 minutes!

This Mediterranean Skillet with Alfresco Chicken Sausage recipe was not only easy but quick. I bought enough to make this twice and that is what I did. Once as the recipe stated and once switching things up and adding a bit of heat. I am sharing the recipe as they wrote it but my modified version adds 1/2 of a small jalapeno, diced, 2 small sweet red peppers, diced and a sprinkling of feta cheese.

Best of all not only is this meal light on the waistline but my kids liked it too!
Score!
