Keto Chicken Sausage Nests
Savory ground chicken mixed with fresh herbs and a little spice, formed into golden patties, nestled on tender braised bok choy, and crowned with a perfect over-easy egg.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp white onion chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh sage chopped
- 1 tbsp green onion diced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme chopped
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
For the Nests
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 5 cups bok choy
- 4 eggs
- salt & pepper to taste
- crushed red pepper for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine all sausage ingredients—ground chicken, salt, onion, sage, green onions, parsley, garlic, black pepper, thyme, and cayenne. Mix well with your hands until fully combined (don’t overmix).
- Divide into 4 equal portions and form into patties.
- Heat 3 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add patties and cook 8–10 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet (with those flavorful bits!), add chopped bok choy. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook 8–10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender but still vibrant.
- Divide bok choy into 4 “nests” on plates. Place a sausage patty in each nest.
- In the same skillet, fry eggs over-easy (or your favorite style). Top each patty with an egg.
- Garnish with crushed red pepper and chives. Serve hot!
