Servings 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 oz. cooked chicken sausage sliced
- ½ medium yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 small carrots sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup white long grain rice uncooked
- 1 cup raw broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup Milk
- 1 cup mild cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ teaspoon pinch Red Pepper Flakes optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- This step is optional: Add cooked sausage to the skillet and sauté till they start to brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer sausage to a plate and keep oil in the skillet.
- Add onion, bell pepper, carrots, and garlic to the skillet. Cook till the onions and bell peppers start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Mix in the chicken broth, rice, uncooked broccoli florets, salt, and sausage. Turn the heat to high and bring it to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-17 minutes, or until the rice is done. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the rice is done cooking, mix in milk, cheddar cheese, and red pepper flakes. Stir until everything is well combined. Serve immediately.
