Ingredients
  • 6 oz. {2 links} chicken sausage, thinly sliced {any smoked flavor will do. i used a chipotle + cheese flavor, which i highly reccommend!}
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, diced {seeded + de-ribbed if looking for less heat}
  • 1 {10 oz.} can diced tomatoes w/chiles {i used ro-tel HOT with habanero - which gave a HUGE heat kick}

  3. add the onion + jalapeno to the skillet with the chicken sausage. continue to saute until the veggies have softened {about 5 minutes}.
  4. add the ro-tel + chicken broth. stir to combine + using your spatula, break up any browned bits off of the bottom of the skillet.
