I bought a couple of packages of chicken sausage on sale (2 for $5!) and threw them in the freezer for a good back up meal. So, I started defrosting the jalapeno kind in the microwave and looked for other ingredients in the fridge. I had picked up a large container of grape tomatoes which needed to be finished. But what to do with the tomatoes? Too many for salad and quite frankly I was tired of raw tomatoes. Ah ha! Time to roast them in the pan. This meal is really seasonal - the corn, basil and tomatoes are all very summer-y flavors - just mixed up to create a new taste.
2 cups grape tomatoes
2/3 cups frozen or fresh corn
1 package chicken sausage
Basil, salt and ground pepper
Heat a medium sized skillet (I used my regular one, not the non-stick) over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add in the tomatoes. If the corn is frozen, defrost in the microwave for 90 seconds. Let the tomatoes roast in the pan for 3 minutes, add in the spices. Next, slice the chicken sausages length wise but leaving butterflied. Place the sausages face down in the pan with the tomatoes. Cover and just let this roll for about 3 minutes. Flip the sausages over and add the corn. Turn off the heat and leave covered.
