1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep your ingredients: Slice the smoked sausage, dice the bell peppers and onion, and mince the garlic.
In a large pot over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add sausage slices and cook until golden brown.
Stir in the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic; sauté until onions are translucent (about 3-5 minutes).
Add the rice; stir well to coat with oil. Pour in chicken broth along with paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving hot.
