Ingredients

• 4 links spicy Italian sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, diced red bell pepper
• 1 large, diced green bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice the spicy Italian sausage into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the sausage to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, or until they soften.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir in paprika, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Add the uncooked white rice and water to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Return the browned sausage to the skillet. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
