Mighty Mozz Chicken Sausage Melts
with Griddled Tomato, Creamy Lemon Herb Sauce & Garlic Potato Wedges
- Milk
- Soy
- Wheat
This is no snack-size sandwich, friends—for these fully-stacked melts, our chefs have pulled out all the stops. It all starts with the bread: Here, that’s baguettes slathered with a homemade garlic butter and toasted until golden. For the filling, browned chicken sausage is mixed with mozzarella until the cheese is gooey and melted. Slices of griddled tomato provide juicy sweetness, while a creamy lemon herb sauce adds bright, refreshing notes. The plate’s rounded out with a side of crispy, garlicky potato wedges for a meal you’ll find yourself craving again and again as soon as the last bite’s gone.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Pick parsley leaves from stems; finely chop leaves. Thinly slice chives. Zest and quarter lemon. Slice tomato into ½-inch-thick rounds. Halve baguettes lengthwise.
• Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and crispy, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just softened, 10-15 seconds. Stir in remaining garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. • Spread garlic butter onto cut sides of baguettes. • When potatoes have 3-4 minutes left, remove sheet from oven; carefully push potatoes to one side of sheet. Place baguettes cut sides up on empty side. Return to oven until bread is lightly golden.
• In a second small bowl, combine sour cream, chopped parsley, chives, half the lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice and zest if desired.
• Season tomato rounds all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add tomato rounds and cook until lightly browned and slightly softened, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. • Add another drizzle of oil to pan. Add sausage* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in mozzarella until just melted, 1 minute. Turn off heat.
• Spread creamy lemon herb sauce onto top halves of baguettes. Evenly divide cheesy sausage between bottom halves of baguettes, then top with griddled tomato. Add top halves of baguettes to create melts; press down slightly. Divide between plates and serve with potato wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was surprisingly good. The baguettes were a great texture. Chicken sausage a bit peppery. The sour cream lemony sauce (And I didn't grill the tomatoes) made this potentially heavy sandwich, a delicious light hot sandwich. This is a favorite! Hope it comes around again soon to put in our box!
Honestly, my expectations were low-- it looked like a simple sandwich-- but this really delivered on flavor! The punch of garlic, lemon, and herbs plus the flavorful sausage and griddled tomatoes were a winning combo.
This was AMAZING. Something so simple, but so good. My husband dared to say it was his favorite so far....of months of doing HelloFresh. I think the chicken sausage is just superb, great flavor and mixing in the cheese was great. The HelloFresh chefs really know how to make these meals excellent with these techniques.
Delicious! Love that this was made with sausage. The combo of the homemade spread, seared tomatoes and chicken sausage was amazing. Only recommendation is adding more cheese.
Great recipe, love the chicken sausage with Italian seasoning. I actually ate the tomatoes! I dislike tomatoes normally. So surprising flavors together. Yum!
The cheese melted in the chicken sausage is great and the sauce that is added to the sandwiches just tops it off.
Loved the fresh herbs that came with it. The fried tomatoes added a nice flavor profile, and I made the sausage a whole patty to fit the bun and it was great!
Overall, yum! The sausage was a little too spicy/peppery for the kids, and adding the mozzarella made it kind of gluey instead of melty. Loved the tomatoes cooked griddled like that!
We really liked these! It was easy to make especially with having the sausage in pieces, with mozzarella holding them together. Love the sliced tomatoes on top, and of course the fries are always good.
This meal was super filling and delicious. Everything paired together was the perfect combination. The chicken sausage was delicious and the sauce was a great touch! Would order again!
