Chicken Sausage with Creamy Polenta
(serves 3-4)
You are rushing home from work–you know your fridge is a desolate wasteland of old milk, a possible apple, and maybe ketchup. What’s for dinner?
It’s nights like these that my local natural market is an absolute godsend. I pick up a 4 link pack of the Al Fresca Spinach and Feta Chicken Sausage, a large zucchini, some chicken stock, and polenta. Then within minutes, I have a rich, warm, satisfying meal that is a cinch to make. Enjoy!
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large zucchini, cut into bite size pieces (about 1.5 cups)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 package Al Fresca Spinach and Feta Chicken Sausage, cut into bite sized pieces
1 teaspoon lemon
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, pressed
In a large saute pan over high heat, add olive oil, zucchini, onions, and cider vinegar. Cook, covered for 2 minutes. Then, add in chicken sausage and garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes, covered. Finish by stirring in lemon juice and Dijon during final minute of cooking. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with creamy polenta.
Creamy Polenta

In a stock pot over medium heat, bring water and olive oil to a light boil. Add cornmeal and stir steadily for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and finish with heavy cream and parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy your quick fix chicken sausage and creamy polenta!
