Drain and rinse the kidney beans, then add them to the skillet along with the chicken broth.

Step 9

Season the mixture with smoked paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well to distribute the seasonings.

Step 10

Return the browned kielbasa to the skillet and stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 11

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 12

Remove the lid and give the dish one final stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 13

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread or steamed rice, if desired.
