Instructions
Making Cajun Sausage and Rice Skillet is a simple process. Follow these steps to create this flavorful dish:
1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Sausage: Add the sliced Cajun sausage and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add Rice: Pour in the uncooked long-grain rice, stirring to coat it with the pan juices. Cook for about 2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), Cajun seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
7. Stir in Sausage: Once the rice is cooked, stir the browned sausage back into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
