How to Make High Protein Chicken Sausage Breakfast Bowls
Roast the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the potatoes with the oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Spread them on the baking sheet cut-side down and roast for 15 minutes.
Add the Sausage and Vegetables
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the sliced chicken sausage, bell pepper and onion.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are crisp, the sausage is browned and the vegetables are tender.
Cook the Eggs
While the potatoes roast, bring a saucepan of water to a boil.
Carefully add the eggs and cook for:
- 7 minutes for jammy eggs
- 9 minutes for firmer eggs
Transfer immediately to an ice bath. Peel and halve once cooled.
Make the Salsa Verde Sauce
Whisk together the mayonnaise, salsa verde, lime juice and salt until smooth.
Taste and adjust with additional salsa verde or lime juice if desired.
Assemble the Bowls
Divide the potato and sausage mixture among four bowls.
Top each with avocado, egg halves and a drizzle of the salsa verde sauce.
Finish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Tips for the Best Breakfast Bowls
Use Chicken Sausage You Love
Since chicken sausage is one of the main ingredients, choose a flavor you enjoy. Apple chicken sausage adds a subtle sweetness that pairs really well with the potatoes and salsa verde.
Don’t Overcook the Eggs
Jammy eggs add creaminess and richness to the bowls. For the best texture, transfer them to an ice bath immediately after cooking.
Roast Everything Until Golden
The crispy edges on the potatoes and browned sausage add tons of flavor and texture.
Add the Avocado Fresh
If meal prepping, wait to add the avocado until serving for the best texture and color.
Meal Prep Instructions
These breakfast bowls are ideal for meal prep.
Store the roasted potatoes, sausage and vegetables together in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
Keep the eggs and sauce separate until serving.
Add fresh avocado just before eating.
To reheat, microwave the potato mixture for 60 to 90 seconds and then add the eggs, avocado and sauce.
