What You Need:

  • Chicken Apple Sausage – My favorite Whole30 one is from Aidells, but Sam’s Club has a compliant option as well.
  • Sweet Potato
  • Green Apple – I use Granny Smith because it has some tartness to it, it’s not too sweet.
  • Onion
  • Spinach
  • Salt
  • Lemon – The pop of acidity really brings it all together.

Let’s Make Breakfast:

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the sliced sausage, then remove from pan.
  2. Add in the sweet potato, salt and onion and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want to get a little color on the sweet potato and it should be just starting to get tender.
  3. Then add in the diced green apple and spinach. Continue to sauté until spinach is wilted and potatoes are tender. Stir in the cooked sausage and lemon juice.
  4. Taste for seasoning and serve.

    Delicious. I am not a sweet potato fan but try to incorporate them where I can because they are healthy. That being said, I love a good breakfast skillet. I did make a few alterations. My potatoes were very small so I used two, I had half of a red bell pepper that needed using so in it went with the onion, and I added some sage, thyme and rosemary. It turned out so well that I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for the recipe and the inspiration.

      Hi Cheyenne, I usually just heat it up in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute, but you can also warm it back up in a skillet

    I was getting sick of eggs and overnight oats for breakfast meal preps so I whipped this up last week for the entire week. Loved it so much, I made it again this week.

    Thank you!!
