Ingredients

For the chicken sausage:

1 pound lean ground chicken
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¾ teaspoon paprika
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried sage
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil, for cooking

For the sweet potatoes:

2 large or 3 medium sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¾ teaspoon paprika
¾ teaspoon garlic powder

For serving:

2 cups of cottage cheese
1 avocado, sliced
Hot honey, for optional drizzle

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the diced sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet, drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated, then spread them out into a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and lightly browned around the edges.
While the sweet potatoes roast, heat two teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Add the maple syrup, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, dried sage, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using) directly to the ground chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently to create small crumbles, until the chicken sausage is fully cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from the heat.
To assemble your bowls, add a half-cup base of creamy cottage cheese to each of the four bowls. Divide the warm roasted sweet potatoes and savory chicken sausage crumbles evenly among the bowls. Top each bowl with sliced avocado and a generous drizzle of hot honey. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Save time/prep ahead: You can dice the sweet potatoes and mix the dry sausage seasoning mix over the weekend. Store the cut potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge so they are ready to toss on a baking sheet for a quick, warm breakfast during busy weekdays.
Dietary variations: To make this recipe completely dairy-free, swap the cottage cheese for a plain plant-based yogurt alternative and verify that your cooking spray or oil is dairy-free. For another dairy-free option, try our favorite dairy free egg casserole. For a vegetarian breakfast option, swap the ground chicken sausage for a can of seasoned black beans or a plant-based protein crumble.
