    Trader Joe's Chicken Sausage is one of my go-to Trader Joe's products! I love keeping it in the fridge for a quick and easy protein to add to a meal. Here are some of my favorite Trader Joe's chicken sausage recipes.

    Trader Joe’s chicken sausages are one of my staple TJ’s products.

    They’re a great addition to easy meals. I don't always love dealing with raw chicken, but love having these chicken sausages to add to any meal for some added protein and flavor.

    They’re so easy to cook. You simply fry it up in a pan, air fry it or microwave it! You can keep it whole or slice it into pieces.

    They are pre-cooked! So you don't have to worry about undercooking chicken or dealing with any cross-contamination.

    if you're looking for a trader joe's chicken sausage recipe, I love this one-pot chicken sausage and rice dish!

    Here are some of my favorite Trader Joe's Chicken Sausage recipes.

    Easy meal recipes from breakfast through dinner!

    Recipe 1: Air Fryer Chicken Sausage

    You can use your favorite chicken sausage and seasonal veggies for this one! I like serving air fryer chicken sausages with a side of frozen brown rice from TJ's and whatever vegetables are in season! It's one of my favorite go-to healthy meals. There are so many various ways in which you can continually switch this up so it feels like you're trying new recipes!

    Recipe 2: Chicken Sausage and Pesto Pasta

    This is one of my favorite recipes if I'm looking for something quick and something with. maximum flavor. I love pairing their sweet Italian, spicy Italian, or roasted garlic chicken sausage with some pasta, and some sauteed veggies (like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms + onions) with pesto for an easy weeknight dinner. Simply cook your pasta, and saute your veggies and chicken sausage in a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss it all together with pesto or your favorite pasta sauce. 

    Pro tip: save a bit of your pasta water to take your dish to the next level. Top with parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if you want a bit of spice.) I like using brown rice pasta during the week, chickpea pasta is also a great option, or just regular pasta works, too!

    Recipe 4: Baked Cauliflower Gnocchi with Chicken Sausage

    I love the cauliflower gnocchi from Trader Joe's and adding chicken sausage makes it such an easy dinner recipe! I always like to add veggies like spinach or peas to make it a well-rounded meal, and of course, top it with a generous serving of parmesan cheese. This is such a delicious meal for when you're looking for a healthier option that is still full of flavor and comfort.

    Recipe 5: Breakfast Skillet or Tacos

    You can add the spicy jalapeno, roasted garlic, or andouille chicken sausages into a breakfast skillet or breakfast potatoes for a protein and flavor-loaded breakfast. In a large skillet, saute your chicken sausage and choice of veggies with a little olive oil. I like sweet potatoes, bell peppers, spinach, and red onion. You'll want to start with the potatoes, onions, and peppers first, the chicken sausage doesn't take that long to cook, especially when it is cut into bite size pieces.

    These are my 5 favorite Trader Joe's chicken sausage recipes!

    How long does Trader Joe’s chicken sausage last?

    Once opened, they typically last a week. If you don't think you will use all of them within a week, you can totally freeze them.

    Trader Joe’s chicken sausage cooking instructions

    My favorite way to cook these is by simply slicing them up into rounds and pan-frying them over medium heat until they are brown on both sides. If you're making any one of these Trader Joe's chicken sausage recipes with sauteed vegetables, you'll want to be sure you add the chicken sausage in when your veggies are more or less cooked through. Potatoes will take far longer to cook than chicken sausage.

    Can you air fry trader joe’s chicken sausage? 

    Absolutely! Simply cook them at 400F for 5 minutes. You'll want to make sure your air fryer is preheated.

    Pin it for later!
