The Chicken Sausage Bowl is a delightful and nutritious meal that combines savory Vienna sausages, wholesome brown rice, and a medley of vibrant vegetables. This dish is not only flavorful but also packed with essential nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a hearty lunch or dinner.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse 3 cups of brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a pot, combine the rice with 6 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and set aside.
- While the rice is cooking, chop the onions, red pepper, green pepper, and sweet potatoes into small, uniform pieces.
- Slice the Vienna sausages and mushrooms.
- In a large skillet or pan over medium heat, add the 2 tbsp vegetable broth.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onions, red pepper, green pepper, and diced sweet potatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and Vienna sausages to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the sausages are heated through and the vegetables are tender.
- Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet with the sausage and vegetable mixture.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup salsa sauce and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Serve the chicken sausage bowl hot, garnished with chopped coriander leaves on top.
Tips:
- Brown Rice Preparation: Cook the brown rice in advance or use pre-cooked brown rice to save time and ensure the rice has a fluffy texture.
- Sautéing Vegetables: Sauté the onions, mushrooms, and peppers until they are tender and caramelized. This will enhance their natural sweetness and add depth to the dish.
- Sweet Potatoes: To speed up the cooking process, consider steaming or microwaving the sweet potatoes before adding them to the bowl.
- Vienna Sausages: Slice the Vienna sausages thinly for even distribution in the bowl and to ensure they get a slight crisp when cooked.
- Vegetable Broth: Use low-sodium vegetable broth to control the saltiness of the dish. It provides moisture and enhances the overall flavor.
- Salsa Sauce: Adjust the amount of salsa sauce to your preference. For a spicier kick, choose a salsa with added heat or incorporate some chili flakes.
- Coriander Leaves: Fresh coriander leaves add a burst of freshness. Consider adding them just before serving to retain their vibrant color and flavor.
- Customization: Feel free to add other vegetables or protein sources you prefer, such as black beans, corn, or grilled chicken, to make the bowl even more nutritious and satisfying.
Enjoy your Chicken Sausage Bowl, a perfect blend of flavors and textures that's sure to satisfy your taste buds. This recipe is easy to prepare and versatile, allowing you to customize it according to your preferences. Serve it hot and savor the comforting taste of this delicious bowl.
