Description
A quick and flavorful one-pan dinner featuring smoky sausage, Cajun spices, and fluffy rice, ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 14 oz Andouille sausage (or smoked sausage)
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 15 oz fire-roasted diced tomatoes (1 can)
- 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
- 1½ cups chicken broth (low sodium)
- 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
- Slice the sausage into ¼-½ inch thick rounds. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until well browned.
- While the sausage is cooking, dice the bell pepper. Once the sausage is browned, add the bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the spices and sauté for another minute.
- Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, rice, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and dissolve the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Cover the skillet, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring the broth to a boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest with the lid on for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice and sausage mixture with a fork, then top with sliced green onions for garnish.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth if needed.
