Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 chicken sausages, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced chicken sausages to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove sausages from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cannellini beans, chicken broth, heavy cream, dried thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken sausages to the skillet and stir to combine all ingredients.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.
Serve warm, spooning the creamy bean and spinach mixture along with the chicken sausages.
