Quick Answer

Brown sliced Kirkland chicken sausage with sweet potato cubes, then add diced Fuji apples and spinach to wilt at the end. The sweet-savory combination hits in 30 minutes — a one-pan breakfast-for-dinner that serves 4.

Chicken sausage and apple hash sounds unexpected but it's one of those dishes where every flavor supports every other — the sweet potato adds earthiness, the apple adds brightness and sweetness, the sausage brings savory depth, and the spinach cuts through the richness. Costco's chicken breakfast sausage or Italian chicken sausage both work well. This is the kind of dinner that becomes a regular.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.

  2. 2

    Add remaining oil to the pan. Add sausage slices and cook 3–4 minutes until browned. Add onion and cook 3 more minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add apple, thyme, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir and cook for 3 minutes until apple begins to soften but still holds its shape.

  4. 4

    Return sweet potatoes to the pan. Toss everything together and cook 2 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Add spinach and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  6. 6

    Serve directly from the skillet with a side of Dijon mustard and a scatter of fresh parsley.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular pork sausage instead of chicken sausage?+
Yes. The sweet-savory combination works equally well with pork Italian sausage or bratwurst. The dish will be slightly richer and higher in fat, but delicious.
What's the best apple variety for this hash?+
Fuji or Honeycrisp are ideal — firm enough to hold their shape through cooking while adding natural sweetness. Avoid soft apples like Red Delicious, which turn mushy. Granny Smith adds a tart contrast if you prefer less sweetness.
Can I add eggs to this hash?+
Absolutely — it becomes a complete breakfast or brinner. Create wells in the hash after step 4, crack an egg into each well, cover the pan, and cook over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes until whites are set. This transforms it into a full one-pan meal.
