Description
A quick, healthy, and flavorful one-pan dinner made with spiralized sweet potato noodles, savory chicken sausage, kale, and beans. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish is hearty, nourishing, and easy to customize.
Ingredients
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
6 oz pre-cooked chicken sausage, sliced (such as Aidells Roasted Garlic & Gruyere)
1 large sweet potato (~1 lb), peeled and spiralized with thinnest noodle blade
4 cups packed chopped curly kale
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large 12” skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and sauté until browned on both sides. Remove to a plate.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to skillet. Once hot, add sweet potato noodles and kale. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in chicken broth and continue cooking until noodles are al dente, 2–4 minutes longer. For softer noodles, cook a bit more, though they may break apart.
- Add beans and browned sausage back to the skillet. Toss everything together until heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
Notes
Swap sausage flavors—spicy Italian, apple chicken, or smoked sausage all work well.
Add extra vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini.
Make it creamy with coconut milk or Parmesan cheese.
For a vegetarian version, omit sausage and add extra beans or tofu.
Best enjoyed fresh—refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days, but avoid freezing.
