Several years ago, I had dinner at a restaurant in LA, at The Grove, when I first tasted a dish like this. My husband and I ordered it to share. One bite and we were smitten! I couldn’t wait to get into my kitchen to remake it. My husband said this skinny version was just as good as the full-fat one and I completely agree! Each dinner size portion has 293 calories, 13 grams of fat. It’s equally fun to serve for an appetizer. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Shopping Tips
Trader Joe’s has a terrific selection of reduced-fat chicken sausages. I love their garlic herb but they sell other varieties such as chicken apple, spicy Italian, and spicy jalapeño. Each 12 oz package contains 4 fully cooked sausages. The garlic herb contains 130 calories, 7g fat, 17g protein, 0g carbs, 0g fiber, 510mg sodium, 0g sugar.
If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s in your town, look for other reduced-fat brands in your supermarket. Most of these sausages have from 6-8 grams of fat each. I also like Brat Han’s line of healthy, fully cooked sausages sold at Whole Foods. Jody Maroni’s Smoked Chicken Apple Sausages would also work for this recipe. Or, use your favorite fully cooked sausages.
