Method

0
Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add sliced sausage and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until browned.
1
Add onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened, then stir in garlic.
2
Stir in rice, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to coat the rice in the seasonings.
3
Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil, about 2 to 3 minutes.
4
Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 18 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
5
Sprinkle cheese and parsley over the top, then let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.
6
Serve hot straight from the skillet. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
