Italian Chicken Sausage Quick Meal

I tried to think of a fancy name for this recipe, but it's pretty straight forward. Don't let the lack of my imagination in the name department turn you away however, because this recipe is simple, has minimal ingredients, and taste fabulous! The featured ingredient in this recipe is Al Fresco Sweet Italian Sausage. Al Fresco has an entire line of gluten free chicken and turkey products that are also free of artifical ingredients, nitrates/nitrites, MSGs, and preservatives. Not all of their products are dairy free, so be sure to read the ingredients if this is a concern for you. The local IGA in Remington carries this brand along with most Meijer stores.
This recipe also calls for a microwave steamer. If you don't own one, I highly suggest investing in one (or two!). They are an excellent kitchen utensil for the on-the-go cook! I used the Large Pampered Chef Steamer in this recipe. The small Pampered Chef Steam is also great for vegetables.
