How to make Costco Amylu Andouille Chicken Sausage

Costco’s Amylu Andouille Chicken Sausage is a ready-to-eat chicken sausage product sold in larger packs (often a ~2.5 lb / ~40 oz package at Costco).

Ingredients

Costco Amylu Andouille Chicken Sausages: 4 links (pre-cooked, smoky and spicy)
Bell peppers: 2 (assorted colors—red, yellow, green for extra flavor and color)
Onion: 1 large (yellow or red, sliced thinly)
Zucchini: 1 medium (optional, for added freshness)
Olive oil: 2 tbsp (or any cooking oil)
Garlic: 2-3 cloves (minced)
Salt: To taste
Black pepper: To taste
Smoked paprika: ½ tsp (for added depth)
Cajun seasoning: ½ tsp (optional, to enhance the Louisiana-inspired flavor)
Rice, quinoa, or pasta (if you want a fuller meal)
Fresh parsley: Garnish
Hot sauce: To amp up the spice!

Instructions

Slice the Amylu Andouille Chicken Sausage into coin-shaped pieces (around ½ inch thick).
Thinly slice the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini. Mince your garlic cloves.
If you’re serving with rice, quinoa, or pasta, cook this first and set it aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to warm up for about 1 minute.
Add the sliced onion and garlic into the pan, stirring occasionally until they’re fragrant (about 2 minutes).
Toss in the bell peppers and zucchini, stirring to blend the flavours. Cook until the veggies are tender but still have a slight crunch—5–6 minutes.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the sliced Amylu Andouille Chicken Sausage pieces to the other side in a single layer.
Cook for 3–5 minutes, occasionally flipping the sausage until it’s golden brown and heated through. Since the sausage is pre-cooked, you’re simply warming it and browning it it for texture and flavourflavour.
Stir everything together—veggies and sausage—so the flavors meld beautifully. Sprinkle the mixture with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Cajun seasoning (if using). Stir well.
Once everything is evenly cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve over a bed of rice, pasta, or quinoa for a complete meal.

Helpful Tips

Meal Prep-Friendly: This dish stores well in airtight containers and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, making it great for meal prepping. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop for a quick lunch or dinner.
Add Protein: If you’re looking for more protein, toss in some shrimp or chicken breast alongside the sausage. Sear them in the pan before mixing with veggies.
Adjust Spice Levels: The Amylu Andouille Chicken Sausage already has a kick, but if you love extra heat, add hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the mix!
One-Pan Wonder: Avoid extra dishes by transforming this into a one-pan meal! Add canned diced tomatoes or tomato sauce to the skillet for a saucy finish. Simmer for 5 minutes and serve directly.
Pairings: Serve with cornbread, steamed veggies, or a tangy coleslaw for a full, Southern-inspired meal.

What to serve with

When serving Costco Amylu Andouille Chicken Sausage, you have a variety of delicious options to complement its bold, smoky flavors.

a. Rice:

Cajun Dirty Rice: Mix cooked white or jasmine rice with sautéed onions, bell peppers, and celery (the “Holy Trinity” of Cajun cooking) and season with Cajun spices and herbs. This complements the sausage’s spicy notes.
Jambalaya: A traditional Louisiana dish using rice and a mix of meats, including sausage, with tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. It’s a hearty side or main dish.

b. Pasta:

Pasta Primavera: Pair the sausage with a light pasta dish rich in fresh veggies like zucchini, spinach, and cherry tomatoes. A drizzle of olive oil and a hint of garlic will tie them together nicely.
Creamy Alfredo: Use a rich Alfredo sauce to counter the sausage’s spiciness.

c. Potatoes:

Roasted Potatoes: Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, herbs, and spices and roast until crispy. They offer a neutral, crispy base that balances the spice.
Mashed Potatoes: Creamy garlic mashed potatoes provide a soothing, comforting side.

Substitutes for Costco Amylu Andouille Chicken Sausage

The star of the dish is Costco’s Amylu Andouille Chicken Sausage, but if it’s unavailable or you’re looking for different options, try these alternatives:

a. Other Sausages:

Andouille Pork Sausage: If chicken isn’t essential, opt for traditional pork andouille sausage as it will provide a very similar smoky and spicy flavor.
Smoked Beef Sausage: Another great option, smoked beef sausage carries that rich, smoky flavor, though it may lack the spice of andouille.
Kielbasa (Polish Sausage): While not as spicy, kielbasa is smoked and flavorful, making it a good mild substitute.
Mexican Chorizo: A spicier and softer sausage that can bring a flavorful twist to your dish, though it is typically uncooked. Cook it thoroughly before adding it to your recipe.
Spanish Chorizo: A fully cured, smoky sausage, which can act as a quick and versatile alternative.
Turkey or Chicken Sausages: If you prefer a lean option, you can use any brand of regular chicken or turkey sausage and season it yourself for the spicy kick (see seasoning substitutions below).

b. Vegan or Plant-Based Alternatives:

Plant-Based Andouille Sausage: Many brands offer spiced, meat-free sausage options that mimic the texture and flavor of andouille. Check brands like Beyond Meat, Field Roast, or Tofurky.
Mushrooms: For a natural, plant-forward alternative, sauté sliced mushrooms (like portobello or cremini) with smoked paprika and Cajun seasoning to replicate the umami and spicy notes.
