Chicken Apple Sausage Skillet is a healthier spin on kielbasa and cabbage. This easy one-pan meal is full of flavor, loaded with veggies, and has a fantastic sauce made from Dijon mustard, white wine, and apple juice. I teamed up with Maille to bring you this post.
What’s better than one-pan meals? Not too much.
I love creating delicious, quick, and easy one-pan recipes. The secret to these dishes is developing as much flavor as possible in as little time.
This Chicken Apple Sausage Skillet is my take on a healthier kielbasa and cabbage dish.
I love this recipe. It reminds me of something I would order at a German beer hall, or something my Irish grandma would make.
It would also be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day next month!
This Chicken Apple Sausage Skillet is made with rainbow fingerling potatoes, cabbage, onion, carrots, and fresh parsley.
A rich and flavorful, but still light, pan sauce comes together quickly. White wine, chicken stock, apple juice, caraway seeds, and Dijon mustard form the foundation for a creamy sauce that is a great balance of sweet and savory.
For the mustard, I use Maille Dijon Originale Mustard, which is the real star of this dish. This traditional mustard dates back to 1747 when Maille was founded, and is the creamiest Dijon I’ve found.
The skillet is healthy, hearty, gluten-free, and will be on your table in under 30 minutes.
