Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped red bell pepper, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, black pepper, and salt. If you want a kick, add the crushed red pepper flakes. Mix everything well until evenly combined.

    Add Greenery: Gently fold in the chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese (if using). This adds a lovely flavor and moisture to your chicken sausage.

      Shape the Sausages: With damp hands, form the mixture into sausage shapes, about 4 inches long and 1 inch thick. You can make smaller or larger sausages depending on your preference.

        Cook the Sausages: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shaped sausages to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

          Serve Hot: Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve these delicious chicken sausages in buns, sliced in salads, or alone with your favorite dipping sauces.

            Garnish (Optional): Top with extra chopped parsley or a sprinkle of cheese before serving for added flavor and presentation.
