Author: 
 
This is a great recipe to use all those fall apples with or enjoy anytime!
Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breasts (I use Costco size)
  • 4 mild Italian sausage links
  • 5-6 tablespoons olive oil (or more)
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 2 medium-large apples chopped (I usually use Granny Smith except after apple picking it is Golden Delicious)
  • 4 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar ( I only use Bragg)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar or brown coconut sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Seasonings to taste include:
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic powder
  • garlic salt
  • onion powder
  • cayenne pepper
Instructions
  1. Place your chicken and Italian sausage on a grill pan over medium heat. Season your chicken to taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, garlic salt, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. When the chicken is ready to be flipped add another round of the seasonings to the other side and continue to turn the sausage throughout the cooking process. Go light with the cayenne pepper or only use it on one side if you don't like spicy. Cook both until they are mostly no longer pink inside. If the temperature gets too high just turn it down a little.
  2. While the meat is cooking heat up your olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Slice up your onion and add it to the pan.
  3. Chop up your apples and then add it to the onion.
  4. Season your apples and onions with garlic powder, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Stir it all around and let it continue to cook. Add more olive oil if necessary. You don't want it to look dry.
  5. When the onions start to look a little translucent add in your Apple Cider Vinegar, brown sugar, and cinnamon and stir around. I have made this both with regular light brown sugar and coconut sugar and they both turn our great. Turn down the heat if it starts bubbling too much.
  6. Slice up your chicken into about ½ inch strips.
  7. Slice up your sausage into about ½ inch slices.
  8. Add the chicken and sausage to the apples and onions and stir. Cover with foil and let it cook for about 5-10 more minutes or until the chicken and sausage are no longer pink.
  9. Serve with a salad or your favorite veggie.
