Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Measuring cups
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the rice and stir to coat it with the oil and seasonings. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 18 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and top with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Let the rice rest off the heat before fluffing so it stays light instead of gummy. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of broth to loosen the texture. If you prefer less spice, reduce the Cajun seasoning by half and add a pinch more paprika for color.
