To make it, start off by making a homemade sweet potato hash. Then add in tons of other veggies and your favorite chicken sausage for a delicious and highly nutritious breakfast.
High Protein Breakfast Bowl Recipe – Key Ingredients
- Minced garlic: Garlic adds lots of depth of flavor to this dish.
- Sweet potato: Sweet potato is the main star in this recipe. It adds a touch of sweetness and lots of yummy nutrition.
- Veggies: Red pepper and yellow onion pair so well with the sweet potato and chicken sausage! They also add lots of good texture.
- Chicken sausages: Make sure you use precooked chicken sausages so you don’t have to cook them before adding them to the hash!
- Kale: A powerhouse green, kale adds even more nutrients and texture to this dish.
- Balsamic vinegar: A touch of balsamic vinegar adds a tangy and delicious flavor to the hash.
Want to add even more protein?
Add a fried egg or over medium egg to each serving of these protein bowls for an extra boost of protein. Simply crack an egg into the skillet and leave it sunnyside up until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny. Or, mix it up and scramble the eggs before adding them into the hash.
What can I use in place of chicken sausage?
You can swap out the chicken sausage for breakfast sausage, bacon, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Or, simply leave it out altogether and add more veggies instead.

Short on time? Here’s a tip

In step 3, you will add the sweet potato pieces first and cook for 4-5 minutes to soften them a little before adding the onion, garlic, red pepper, and sausage.

its looking delicious but let me try it then i will share my experience about it.
Hi, Has anyone tried freezing this? It would be a great make ahead work lunch.
Sweet potatoes are so versatile it blows my mind! I can’t believe I’ve never thought to grate them before. Made this for my dinners this week and am loving this recipe! I top it with a bit of sriracha which I think contrasts the sweet potato beautifully. I love that this recipe could also be used for breakfast; I would just top it with an egg!
YES SRIRACHA IS GENIUS! I had never thought to grate them either until I saw Linley’s mother in-law do it. MIND BLOWING.
How smart you use the grater for sweet potatos. I can’t wait to try it with my boys.
A very sweet recipe.Thanks Lee.
Mmm this would go really nicely with a runny egg on too! Looks delicious. ?
You read my mind!
I would have never thought to use peeled sweet potatoes in a hash! Yum!
This is a great recipe. So easy to make vegetarian as well.
I make sweet potato hash almost every week, but I’ve never tried grating the sweet potatoes — what a good idea! Trader Joe’s sausage selection is also my favorite. There are so many good options to choose from.
I sort of made this tonight and it was a hit with the family. Store bought sausage has never agreed with me (sorry if TMI) so I seasoned some ground turkey and mixed it in. I also grated a whole zucchini and added it to the hash. I didn’t have kale, but I did have baby spinach and it tasted amazing. Thanks for the recipe!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your turkey modification! Ground meat is so easy to cook with. I hope your fam loved it!
Wish I had more chill weekends…it’s a great time to enjoy this sweet potato kale hash!
