Lupin Free Paleo Chicken Apple Sausage Hash
This skillet hash is the kind of one-pan meal that makes a weekend morning feel genuinely special — savory, a little sweet, and deeply satisfying. Ground chicken gets seasoned with fennel seeds, sage, and a touch of red pepper flakes, then mixed with finely diced apple before it ever hits the pan, which keeps every bite juicy and fragrant. Sweet potato brings hearty, golden-edged substance to the base, while a second round of fresh apple added near the end stays tender without turning to mush. A final splash of apple cider vinegar ties all those flavors together with just enough brightness to cut through the richness. Every ingredient here is whole and straightforward — no flour blends, no legume-based fillers, nothing that tends to sneak lupin into processed sausage or packaged hash mixes. That makes this a genuinely clean option for anyone who has learned to read labels with a skeptical eye. Finish it with a handful of fresh parsley and you've got a colorful, crowd-pleasing plate that looks as good as it tastes.

Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely diced apple, fennel seeds, dried sage, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp of the salt, and 1/8 tsp of the black pepper. Mix with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Heat 1 tbsp of the avocado oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage mixture and press it into an even layer. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, until the underside is browned, then break it into rough 1-inch chunks with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining and registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 4–5 minutes more. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
