Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
• 1 yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup white rice (uncooked)
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the uncooked rice, cooking for 2 minutes to lightly toast it.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.

Step 6

Simmer for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

After 12 minutes, stir in the broccoli florets, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cover the skillet again and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the broccoli is cooked through.

Step 8

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Heat for 2 more minutes until everything is warmed through.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the skillet and cover for 1-2 minutes until melted.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Sausage Rice Skillet with Broccoli!
