About these Chicken Sausage Lettuce Cups
Whats great about these chicken sausage lettuce cups is that they come together in under 20 minutes. Combine a few simple ingredients and you have a healthy, light meal. Perfect as a game day appetizer or quick on-the-go lunch.
For this recipe, I used butter lettuce. Butter lettuce is great because it is easy to pick up and it holds a good amount of the sausage mixture.
When prepping the chicken sausage for this recipe, be sure to slice it into coins. The round pieces of sausage will get browned and slightly crispy when sautéing in the pan. Most chicken sausage is already cooked through so you will just need to brown it in the pan. This recipe makes 2 servings. Please see below for nutritional information.

I made these for dinner last night because I had some chicken sausage on hand and I stumbled upon this recipe. Wow am I glad I did! I will absolutely make these again. What a healthy and filling recipe. I never think of these things on my own!
I subbed ground chicken for chicken sausage and used cottage cheese instead of provolone (stuff I had in the house). This is such a simple recipe but SO good.
