Chicken sausage and apple breakfast skillet combines savory sausage, crisp potatoes, sweet-tart apples, and onion in one easy pan.
Cook the potatoes first and add apples later so the potatoes brown while the fruit keeps its shape.

ShiMuv Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fully cooked chicken breakfast sausage, sliced
- 1 pound baby potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium apple, diced
- ½ yellow onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
How to Make It
- Par-cook potatoes. Microwave diced potatoes with 2 tablespoons water for 3–4 minutes, then drain and dry.
- Season. Toss potatoes with smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and half the olive oil.
- Brown potatoes. Cook over medium-high heat 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and tender. Transfer to a plate.
- Brown sausage. Add remaining oil and sausage slices. Cook 3–4 minutes until browned at the edges.
- Add onion. Stir in onion and cook 3 minutes until beginning to soften.
- Add apple and thyme. Stir in diced apple and thyme and cook 3–4 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
- Glaze. Return potatoes and drizzle with maple syrup. Toss over medium heat 1–2 minutes until everything is glossy and hot.
- Serve. Taste for seasoning and serve immediately, optionally with eggs on the side.
Recipe tip: Choose a firm apple such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith so the pieces stay intact in the skillet.
Food safety: Use fully cooked chicken sausage for these timings and follow package reheating guidance. Refrigerate leftovers promptly.
