This recipe is considered the Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage vs. the Hot variety.It is called sweet to differentiate it, but it really just means mild, not sweet.Hot Italian Sausage will have lot of red pepper flakes to give it the spicy flavor.
There really is not much to prep, so if you really want to get ahead, I suggest doubling or tripling this recipe and then portioning it out and freezing it for 3-6 meals!
