Apple-Maple Chicken Sausage Breakfast Sammies

By peridot728

My family loves these so much that I make them for dinner alot. Instead of having the eggs on them when I make these for dinner, I make a side dish like fries, baked potato, baked sweet potato, or even mac and cheese !!! This makes 4 large patties, you can make them smaller and use regular hamburger buns if you like.

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil (I use EVOO)
• 4 Tbsp. butter, divided
• 1 Lb. ground chicken breast
• 1 Small MacIntosh apple (I use Red Delicious)
• 1/4 c. Pure Maple Syrup, eyeball it
• 1 Tbsp. Grill Seasoning Blend (Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
• 1 tsp. Poultry seasoning
• 1/2 tsp. Ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. Freshly ground nutmeg, eyeball it
• 4 Jumbo, Sandwich sized English muffins, fork split
• 8 Large eggs
• Splash of cold milk
• Salt & Pepper
• 1/4 Lb. Cheddar, thinly sliced or shredded

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler and preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 Tbsp. of oil and 1 Tbsp. of the butter. Mix chicken with apple, syrup, grill seasoning, poultry seasoning, cinnamon and nutmeg and score the meat into 4 sections in the bowl (this helps to keep the patties the same size). Take each section and form 4 large, thin patties and set into hot butter and oil. Cook 5 minutes on each side.

Place fork split English Muffins on broiler pan and toast. Butter toasted muffins and reserve.

Heat a second nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a Tbsp. of the butter in the pan. Beat eggs with milk, salt & pepper, and scramble to desired doneness.

Pile 1 sausage patty, 1/4 of the eggs and cheddar cheese on each of the 4 English muffins halves. Return to broiler to melt cheese, 1 to 2 minutes, then set tops into place and serve.
