Sausage, Peppers and Rice Skillet
Description
The recipe starts by sautéeing diced white onion with red and green bell peppers in olive oil until softened. Garlic and spices including paprika and cayenne add aromatic heat. Sliced chicken sausage is then cooked with the vegetables to develop flavor.
Uncooked jasmine rice and diced tomatoes are folded into the mixture before adding broth. The skillet is brought to a simmer, covered, and cooked until the rice absorbs the liquid and softens, creating a cohesive dish with tender vegetables and sausage.
Fresh parsley scattered on top adds a bright herbal note. This one-pan skillet is convenient for quick meals and adaptable to include other vegetables like broccoli or asparagus, as noted.
Suggestion notes highlight the possibility of using various colored bell peppers and incorporating alternative vegetables to customize the dish.
