Grilled Chicken Stir Fry Recipe with Sausage

Our Grilled Chicken & Sausage Stir-Fried Rice might make regular stir-fry obsolete. Why?

For starters, this one features smoked bratwurst sausage and mini chicken drummies, accompanied by our super-fresh Garden Herb Chimichurri!

This stir-fry screams summertime grub. For the vegetables, we chose what our garden had to offer.

There is zucchini, broccoli, Tuscan kale, and green bell peppers. I also threw in garlic scapes and three large cloves of garlic.

Grilled Chicken Stir Fry Recipe with Sausage:

Serving Size: 6-8

Ingredients for the Rice:

4 cups Jasmine rice
4 cups water
½ stick unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, or cilantro)

Ingredients for the meat:

1 package beer bratwurst (about 5 links)
1 pound chicken drummies
Sea salt and freshly cracked black peppercorns, to taste

For the Chimichurri Sauce:

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup packed fresh parsley
⅓ cup cilantro
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced rosemary
1 whole garlic scape, cut into small pieces (optional)
3 whole cloves of garlic

For the Stir Fry:

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sesame oil (for veggies)
2 tablespoons sesame oil (for rice)
4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 cups chopped kale
2 bunches of fresh broccoli, cut into florets
1 large zucchini, cubed
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
5 large eggs, whisked
Optional garnish: chopped green onions or a drizzle of sesame oil

Directions:

Add 4 cups of Jasmine rice, 4 cups of water, ½ stick of butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and fresh herbs to an Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. Allow the rice to naturally release for 10 minutes, then fluff it and set it aside.
Cook bratwurst over a charcoal grill until browned and cooked through, about 10–12 minutes. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Chimichurri Sauce. Combine olive oil, parsley, cilantro, thyme, rosemary, garlic scape, and garlic cloves in a food processor. Pulse until a coarse paste forms.
Pat the chicken drummies dry and place them in a large bowl. Coat thoroughly with the Chimichurri sauce.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Sear chicken on all sides until golden brown. Transfer to a 400°F oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and set aside.
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, kale, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cover and steam-sauté for about 4 minutes, until the vegetables are bright and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the eggs and scramble until light and fluffy. Set aside.
In a large wok, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce over medium-high heat. Add cooked Jasmine rice a little at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon to fry evenly.
Add in the veggies, scrambled eggs, grilled bratwurst, and Chimichurri chicken. Drizzle with the remaining soy sauce and toss until everything is well combined and heated through. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Spoon the stir-fry into bowls, garnish with chopped green onions, and finish with a light drizzle of sesame oil for added flavor.

Can I Experiment with Different Types of Sausage?

Yes! Beer brats add great flavor, but you can swap them for Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or even a plant-based sausage if you prefer.

Just make sure to cook them thoroughly before slicing.

Can I Use Chicken Thighs or Breasts Instead of Drummies?

Definitely, chicken thighs work beautifully here and stay juicy.

If you use chicken breasts, slice them into bite-sized pieces and cook them quickly to avoid drying out.

Is Grilling the Brats a Must?

Grilling gives that smoky flavor, but if it’s raining or you’re short on time, you can pan-sear or oven-bake them instead.

What If I Don’t Have a Wok?

A large cast-iron or nonstick skillet will do the job just fine.

Just don’t overcrowd the pan so your rice gets that perfect light crisp.

Can I Make This Ahead?

Yes. You can cook the rice, proteins, and veggies in advance, then toss everything together in the wok right before serving.

How Long Will Leftovers Last?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a skillet with a splash of soy sauce or sesame oil to revive it.

Can I Freeze This Stir Fry?

Yes, but freeze the rice and proteins separately from the veggies for the best texture.

Reheat from frozen in a skillet until warmed through.

What Can I Pair With It?

Honestly, this dish is a complete meal on its own, but if you want to round it out, pair it with a light cucumber salad, fresh fruit, or a crisp slaw.

Time to dig in and eat! My easy stir-fry is perfect for backyard entertainment.

With the music flowing, the grill is going, and a Heineken in my hand, my summer evening doesn’t get better than this!

What are some ways you like to entertain in your backyard?

Cheers!
