Cook This Now: 10 Minute Apple Chicken Sausage Wraps

A quick lunch that satisfies!

I have a deep obsession with lunch! I look forward to it every day and it is a complete meal. Usually my lunches are leftovers from dinner but if we don’t have leftovers I always have some items on hand for v quick but filling lunches, like my 10 min ramen!

Another staple is Gilbert’s Bourbon Apple Chicken Sausages, which I pick up from my local grocery store.

They are pre-cooked and pork-free with no added nitrates or nitrites. (Although I want to be clear, I also love a regular hot dog!!!)

Last week was crazy for both Jeremy and me, so we relied heavily on the quickest of meals. I had a package of these sausages and leftover horseradish aioli from my Pot Roast sandwiches and leftover romaine from my Caesar salad, so this lunch was born:

Now listen, even though the sausages are pre-cooked, I love heating them in a very specific way.

I cut the sausage in half lengthwise because I like as much surface area to come in contact with the heat so the apples get nice and caramelized.

To one side of the pan I add one tablespoon of butter and sauté up a few mini bell peppers and sliced onion. I let the sausage cook on the other side.

(Also, yes I am still obsessing over my Hexclad pan. She is a dream and I now desperately want this deep sauté pan.)

I added all of this to two large pieces of romaine. Drizzled it with horseradish aioli and ate it. I essentially picked it up like it was in a hot dog bun. It was messy but insanely satisfying. And I licked that plate (and my fingers clean)!

A few days later I also made these for dinner for us, but put them in a brioche hotdog bun because I was feeling v extra.

Notice that I still sliced the sausage lengthwise. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY!

Have you all tried these sausages?!
