Can we talk for a minute about this stage of life I’m in? I thought when my kids were young life was hectic, but having teenagers with crazy different schedules than the rest of the family is throwing me for a loop. Long gone are the consistent nights of “family mealtime“. Instead, we get to experience the rare occurrence of us all sitting down for dinner at the same time just a few times a week.

When my oldest is not at sports practices or games, he has a job umping baseball which keeps him gone many nights from 5 until 9:45. This means he needs to eat dinner incredibly early and since he’s a always starving teenager he eats his 2nd dinner when he gets home.

My three girls are all involved in sports activities as well as school clubs like yearbook and publications. This means some nights they are out for games or to take pictures at games, etc. Throw in Nick’s crazy travel schedule and what we have is the need for dinners that are quick, easy and able to be eaten at various times of the evening. I’m so glad I discovered al fresco all natural chicken products because it has saved this new dinnertime struggle. Healthy, delicious and QUICK are the key things I look for in a meal now, and al fresco absolutely fits all of these.

What I love the most about al fresco is that it can be used in any recipe you might use chicken in for an even quicker meal. Chicken fried rice, chicken and pasta, chicken salad…just substitute the chicken breast in those meals with one of many al fresco’s all natural chicken products and you’ll be good to eat in a jiffy.

The recipe I’m sharing today is for al fresco Chicken Sausage with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce over Zucchini Noodles. This recipe is so versatile. I used al fresco fully cooked Chicken Sausage links but their fully cooked Chicken Meatballs would be a great substitution as well.
