While I am trying to meal prep more often and better, I am always keeping an eye on how much meals cost.  It’s easy for food to add up and blow your family budget.  This 5 ingredient chicken sausage and leek skillet is filling, inexpensive and a great family meal! Bonus? It’s only 5 Ingredients, so it’s a great easy weeknight meal and perfect for this weeks five-ingredient Friday!

The best chicken and leek skillet for meal prep

I love cooking with chicken sausage because it’s easy to cook and there are so many flavors of chicken sausage. The best part is, we almost always have chicken sausage in the house so the meal is even easier!

The best chicken sausage, leek and white bean skillet for a family meal

This recipe is simple and comes together quickly.  I keep it on rotation for my easy weeknight meals when we don’t have a ton of time.  All it takes is a quick three steps and you have a meal everyone will love!

  1. Cook/soften leeks
  2. Add chicken sausage and white beans to cook 
  3. Saute, stir and enjoy!

Any meal that I can sneak beans into is also a bonus.  Beans are a great source of protein for the little ones-ok, really for anyone-in your house.  Plus this meal is super filling so that’s a plus as well. 

The best chicken and leek skillet for a budget friendly meal

Do you have a favorite skillet meal?  They are so simple to throw together, which of course means that they are my fave!  Since I think skillet meals are great for everyone to make more of, I wanted to share a few of my other fabulous recipes that I cook in one skillet:

  • 5 Ingredient Cilantro Lime Chicken and Brown Rice Skillet
  • Slightly Sweet Skillet Cornbread
  • 5 Ingredient blueberry skillet dump cake – you can’t forget about dessert!

This 5 ingredient chicken sausage and leek skillet meal is made with 5 simple ingredients: chicken sausage, leek, white beans, butter and parsley. Leeks remind me of a slightly milder version of an onion, so if you don’t have a leek, feel free to use an onion!

The most delicious 5 ingredient chicken sausage and leek skillet

Whenever you’re looking for a budget friendly dinner, this 5 ingredient chicken sausage and leek skillet should be at the top of your list!

      What a great question, thank you. We eat this one as is, but it would be so good over some pasta (perhaps egg noodles) or with rice, or wish garlic bread!

      Oh great question! I like al fresco chicken sausages – the chicken and garlic flavor or Italian flavor!

Are you team ♥️ anchovies, or team 🤢 anchov Are you team ♥️ anchovies, or team 🤢 anchovies? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used to be 🤢 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They sounded kinda gross if you asked me. Canned fish? No thank you. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then I was part of a cookbook club (remember social activities.. 😭) and I cooked a recipe with anchovy breadcrumbs. It completely changed my perspective and thoughts on them as an ingredient. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now whenever I encounter someone who is team ♥️ I rave and rave at them about miraculous anchovy breadcrumbs. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re awesome on roasted cauliflower or on pasta 😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I gotta know? Are you team anchovies ♥️ or 🤢?!?
