class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chicken Bratwurst \u2013 Flavor without the Calories<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I like hot dogs, sausage, and bratwurst as much as the next person but really do not like the calories involved. \u00a0I have tried the non-fat turkey hot dogs but they are made with the poultry version of the \u201cpink slime\u201d you find in beef (or used to find before the public was made aware of it.) \u00a0I am browsing the store and run across Chicken Jalape\u00f1o and Cheese Bratwurst. \u00a0It sounds better than pork health wise and on inspection of the package I find that they only have 200 calories each. \u00a0By using a whole grain white bun at 100 calories, I am able to keep the \u201csandwich\u201d down to 300 calories. \u00a0This gives me another 120 or so to use with baked fries (for a total of under 500 calories)!<\/p>\n<p>I make some caramelized onions for a topping and cook the bratwurst on medium high in a skillet, surrounded by a bottle of Guinness Stout beer. \u00a0I cool all of the alcohol out but use the hops and flavor from the beer to give the bratwurst an extra kick of flavor. \u00a0During this time I bake the Ore Ida Golden Crinkles in the oven.<\/p>\n<p>30 minutes goes by and I have every component ready to go. \u00a0I slightly toast the bun, add the bratwurst, top it with spicy mustard, and then with the onions. \u00a0I side it with a handful of fries, add some ketchup, and am good to go. \u00a0The bratwurst has the expected resistance from the casing and the cooked-down flavor of the beer really works well with the chicken and jalape\u00f1o cheese. \u00a0The bratwurst itself does not have as much flavor as it\u2019s pork cousin, but has far fewer calories and fat and the reduced beer and onions makes up for what is missing.<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoy the sandwich and my family does as well. \u00a0Nothing is left on anyone\u2019s plate and that is a good sign!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By
