This Chicken Apple Sausage Quinoa Casserole is packed with shredded brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes. It is the perfect healthy meal for an easy weeknight dinner or is perfect for meal prep for the week! It is high in protein and delicious! When fall rolls around I begin to crave things like chili , potatoes , creamy soups, and pork roast. My body knows exactly when it is time to nest for the winter and immediately wants to make sure my body is nourished. I do in fact love a good chili and we always have potatoes in our pantry, but I try to incorporate healthy green vegetables and whole ingredients like quinoa into my diet throughout the fall and winter months! This Apple Chicken Sausage Quinoa Casserole is a great meal to add to your list for the week. It has delicious seasonal vegetables like sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. All you have to do is throw everything into the casserole dish, brown your chicken sausage, and mix up your dressing. That’s right, THE DRESSING. The dressing for this quinoa casserole takes this dish to the next level. One other thing I really love about this quinoa bake is that I usually have everything I need for this dish in my pantry or the refrigerator. Stock your pantry so that you are ready to make this quinoa casserole whenever you crave it!
