Ingredients
Scale
1 pound Cajun or Andouille sausage, sliced
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 medium onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced (use red or yellow for sweetness)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced Cajun sausage and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the sausage is browned, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Next, stir in the long-grain rice, ensuring it is coated in the flavors from the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth, honey, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to cook for about 20 minutes or until it has absorbed all the liquid.
Once the rice is tender, remove the skillet from heat. Fluff the rice with a fork and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
