Spicy Chicken Sausage & Broccolini Sautee
A quick dinner, cooked and ready to eat in under 30 minutes - how easy is that?! The bitterness of broccolini is offset by the perfectly sauteed smashed garlic and red pepper flakes, all tossed together with healthy all-natural, low-fat chicken sausage.
Another great thing about this meal? It cost us approximately $8.00 for the entire meal - including the Garlic Smashed Cauliflower with Creme Fraiche we had with it on the side. Oh right, and it's 256 calories and 19 grams of protein for one link of sausage and five broccolini spears.
