Al Fresco makes some of the best "all natural" chicken sausage that you can find in stores. Trader Joe's also has some really good chicken sausage, but because it is a little bit of a drive to get there, we usually buy Al Fresco in our town. The spicy jalapeno is our favorite kind but we really haven't had one that we didn't like yet. Feel free to use any kind of chicken sausage you can find or you prefer.
This chicken sausage was delicious with some whole wheat orzo and veggies. It was a complete meal so no sides were necessary.
