Ingredient substitutions
Chicken sausage
- Lean chicken sausage: Choose a plain cooked chicken sausage for the closest lean and savory result.
Pepper
- Green pepper: Use when sweeter peppers are unavailable; the flavor will be slightly sharper.
Onion
- Pepper: Use extra pepper if onion is not available; the skillet will taste sweeter and less aromatic.
Egg
- Chicken sausage: Use extra sliced chicken sausage for more protein when egg is unavailable.
Olive oil
- Butter: Use for a richer skillet flavor if dairy is acceptable.
Salt
- Black pepper: Use only when reducing sodium; it adds heat but not salinity.
