Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into rounds)
• 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced smoked sausage to the skillet and cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and diced onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the mushrooms are browned.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the uncooked rice, coating it with the flavors in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, nestling it into the rice mixture.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and let the skillet sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 10

Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
