Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
  • Serve this dish alongside a bed of quinoa or couscous to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • For extra flavor, consider browning the chicken sausage in a pan before adding it to the baking sheet.
