Chicken Apple Sausage Sauté

Serves 6

What is a breakfast without a side of sausages? Here is a simple sauté of flavorful sausages with apples and shallots.

2 tablespoons butter
2 large shallots, chopped
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pound (about 4 links) chicken-apple sausage, cut in 1-inch pieces
Juice of 1 large orange
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Heat the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sliced apples; cook for 1 minute. Add the sausage slices and orange juice. Cover; simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, until sausages are cooked through. Serve with chopped chives sprinkled on top.
