Cooking Steps
  1. Slice the fully-cooked chicken sausage into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick medallions and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and brown for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  3. Remove the browned sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining oil, diced yellow onion, and minced garlic. Cook for 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  5. Add the drained cannellini beans, salt, oregano, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Add in the fresh spinach and stir gently until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Return the browned sausage to the skillet, mixing thoroughly and heat for another 1-2 minutes.
  9. Serve hot, ideally with crusty bread on the side.
