REVIEWS:

I was hesitant to try the chicken sausage, but was very flavorful (and my husband couldn't stop eating it!) This is a very tasty recipe. The only thing I would change is that next time I will add a little more pineapple to it. And you don't really need to use a whole package of the sausages- & I cut them into smaller pieces than what is shown in the recipe pic. This recipe made a HUGE batch of food (it was just my husband and I eating it.)
I will definitely make this again!!! YUM!

I'm the "non-cook" of the family. My husband is much more confident in the kitchen than myself, but I always want to try to make a yummy meal for my family. This recipe was a big hit! My 3 year old loved the sausage and pineapple and even tried some of the veggies!

I've used this recipe 2x so far. It's been a hit both times. The first won over my fiance'. We used to eat Chinese out a lot. This is a cheaper solution, with healthier benefits. The second time I used it was a week ago for my birthday at my families. It seems like everyone's on diets this time of year. Everyone was impressed on the portions, and they all got full no complaints. Even from the picky eaters we have in my family on mixing sweet stuff in, instead of having it on the side. We did slice the sausage length wise in fours then chopped it into smaller "triangle" pieces so there would be more throughout. Also I just bout the stir fry veggies in the frozen veggie section. I did add more broccoli to ours by steaming it and mixing it in. But overall we liked it fairly well.

It was good. I added a red pepper and doubled the sausage. It could use a little more for taste but, I tried to make something healthier and easy. I also steamed the veggies in the microwave first, and cut everything up so it would be faster.
