Cook the sausage
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned (about 4–5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
-
Sauté veggies
In the same skillet, add chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened (3–4 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
-
Toast the rice
Add the uncooked rice, Cajun seasoning, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well so the rice gets coated with the seasonings and oil.
-
Add broth & simmer
Pour in chicken broth (and diced tomatoes if using). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 18–20 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
-
Combine & serve
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!
