Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage casing removed
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1.5 cups jasmine rice rinsed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning plus more to taste
  • 0.5 cup green onions sliced, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat until fully cooked, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spatula.
  • Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes or until they are tender.
  • Stir in the rinsed jasmine rice and Cajun seasoning, ensuring the rice is well coated and fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
