Chicken Sausage Sandwiches with Onions, Peppers and Provolone


Chicken Sausage Sandwiches with Onions, Peppers and Provolone


Ingredients:

      • 2 yellow onions, sliced
      • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
      • 2 tbsp cherry peppers, chopped
      • 1 tbsp olive oil
      • 1 tsp brown sugar
      • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
      • 1 tsp sriracha
      • 2 pre-cooked chicken sausages, sliced in half lengthwise
      • 4 hot dog buns
      • 1/2 cup sharp provolone cheese, grated
      • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

For onions & peppers, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.  Add sliced onion and a pinch of salt.  Reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and golden brown (turn down the heat if you notice they’re browning too quickly).  Add roasted red peppers, cherry peppers, sugar, balsamic vinegar and sriracha.  Stir to combine and continue cooking 4-5 minutes.  Set aside. 

For sausages, cut each sausage in half lengthwise, then make some shallow horizontal cuts on the casing-side of each half-sausage with a sharp knife (this is so the sausages don’t go all curly when you cook them).  Sprig a pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat.  Add sausages, split side down.  Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more.  Sausages should have a nice brown crust on both sides.  [**Note that these directions are for pre-cooked chicken sausages]. 

To assemble sandwiches, place a half sausage in each bun.  Top with 1/4 cup of onion mixture and 2 tbsp of grated cheese.  Melt cheese under broiler or in toaster oven.  Sprinkle finished sandwiches with chopped fresh basil.
