Chicken Apple Sausage Patties are a quick and easy way to enjoy a homemade breakfast packed with sweet and savory flavor. Ground chicken, grated apple, and a blend of simple herbs and spices come together in tender sausage patties that are perfect for meal prep or busy mornings.
Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Using either your hands or a stiff spatula, mix everything together until well combined. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a patty that is roughly 3 inches in width and 1 inch thick.
1 pound ground chicken, 1 cup apple, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon ground sage, ½ teaspoon fennel seeds, ½ teaspoon rosemary, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat, making sure it completely coats the bottom. Wait a minute or two for the oil to heat up and then place the patties in a single layer. Cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping over halfway through cooking.
2 tablespoons oil
Serve immediately or store for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Notes
Make ahead: You can dice the apple in advance, here are 7 ways to keep apples from browning. You can also mix the sausage together and keep it tightly covered in the refrigerator for 1 day.
Storage: Keep leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
Freezing: Wrap completely cooled patties tightly and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. They hold up well, though they come back slightly drier than fresh, so warm them gently.
Reheating: A skillet over low heat gives you the best texture. The microwave works when you are in a hurry.
Apple: Dice it small. Large chunks keep the patties from holding together and the flavor will not spread evenly.
Chicken: A 93/7 ground chicken blend is ideal. Too much fat and the patties shrink in the pan.
Store-bought links: Already fully cooked. Brown them in a greased skillet over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or air fry at 400 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes.
