Chicken Sausage and Cabbage

No ratings yet
When I was a kid my Mom used to make a dish that was kielbasa, cabbage, noodles and peas.  It was so buttery and delicious.  I made this Whole30 version without the noodles but please add them in if you are concerned about keeping this recipe Paleo or Whole30 friendly.  This Chicken Sausage and Cabbage made in one pan is mouthwatering, buttery and it's so delicious.  It's even wonderful for breakfast with fried eggs.

Notes

I buy my chicken apple sausage from a box store and it comes with 5 links per package.  Go ahead and use the extra link!
Feel free to use a few extra cups cabbage if you like, just makes for more leftovers for breakfast.
