Instructions

Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the sliced Kielbasa and arrange in a single layer as much as possible. Allow to cook, undisturbed, for 90-120 seconds, until browned. Flip the sausage pieces and brown on the other side.
Add the peppers, onions, and jalapeño to the pan**. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to brown. Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (do not drain), and add the bay leaves, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
Turn the heat down to medium and add the uncooked rice to the pan along with the chicken broth. Let the contents come to a boil and allow the liquid level to reduce until the rice starts peeking out of the top.
Once the liquid is below the rice (about 5 minutes or so), cover the pan and turn the heat to low. Let the rice steam for 15 minutes before uncovering and stirring the contents. Discard the bay leaves and serve hot.

Notes

I like to use Hillshire Farm's Polska Kielbasa for this recipe.
*You may want to turn on your fan; jalapeno fumes can get pretty hardcore.
To store leftovers of the Spicy Sausage and Rice, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them; it will stay good for up to 3-4 days. To freeze this dish, store it in the freezer and it should last for about 2 months.
When you're ready to eat, you can reheat it either in a microwave or on the stove. For microwaving, cover the dish and heat on medium power, stirring occasionally. If using the stove, reheat on low heat in a saucepan, adding a little water or broth to prevent drying out.
