Cooking things in rendered bacon, or pancetta fat is fairly common, but not so much when it comes to pork sausage, which is funny, since not only are we getting that pork goodness, but we also get to utilize all the herbs and spices used in the grind.
I went with a sweet Italian sausage, which paired perfectly with the chicken, mushrooms, and wine-based pan sauce, but half the fun of a “recipe” like this is choosing which variety to use, depending on which other ingredients you plan on including. So, call that friend I was talking about in the video, and no matter which way you guys decide to go, I really hope you give this, or something like this a try soon. Enjoy!
Ingredients for 2 portions:
1 (6-ounce) sweet Italian sausage, cooked, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 boneless chicken breasts
salt, freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne to taste
