Versatile Chicken and Sausage

Submitted by jennyabs

"A delicious and versatile meal made with a blend of sweet and hot Italian sausage. A true family pleaser. Can easily be doubled for more servings. Serve over rice or as a sandwich. It would even be yummy over butter pasta, or add a marinara sauce."

This was delicious, the whole family had seconds! We sprinkled parmesan cheese on top, no bread or pasta because we're trying to limit our carbs. It definitely looks like it would have been extra good with bread.

I must say that this recipe is delicious!! My youngest daughter Ashley ate a sandwich and a half. She absolutely loved it. We did have to take out the sausage for her because she does not like it. I used Italian rolls to serve this. Thanks jennyabs, I know what I will be taken tomorrow for my lunch at work.
