Chicken Sausage with Sweet Potato Hash

This chicken sausage with sweet potato hash is the kind of dish you’ll turn to when you want something hearty, flexible, and genuinely satisfying for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Tender cubes of sweet potato are tossed in lime juice, ghee, rosemary and chili powder, then roasted until fork-tender. Meanwhile chicken sausage gets seared to golden perfection, joined by sautéed onion and jalapeño, and everything comes together in one skillet with chopped parsley for brightness.

Because this hash uses whole ingredients — no flour, no hidden grains or gluten-based binders, and all the seasonings are simple — it naturally works as a gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly dish (assuming all packaged ingredients are certified gluten-free and the ghee is clarified properly).

The value here is in its versatility: it moves from a brunch plate topped with a runny egg, to a power-packed lunch, to a laid-back dinner when you want one skillet, maximum flavor, minimal fuss. It’s nourishment without complication—and it hits comfort, texture and freshness all at once.

Chicken Sausage & Sweet Potato Hash Variations & Tips

• Swap the sausage: Try turkey sausage, chicken-apple sausage, or a vegetarian sausage alternative to change up the flavor profile.
• Heat control: Reduce or skip the jalapeños and chili powder for a milder dish, or add additional jalapeño and cayenne for extra spice.
• Sweet potato alternative: Use butternut squash, regular potato (if gluten-free potato hash is okay), or turnips for a different texture and flavor.
• Herb change-up: Substitute thyme or sage for rosemary to shift the aromatic tone.
• Brunch upgrade: Top each serving with a sunny-side-up or poached egg to add richness and protein.
• Batch prep: Roast sweet potatoes ahead of time (up to a day ahead), then sauté sausage and vegetables just before serving to save time.
