  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large smoked sausages, sliced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (pick your favorite brand)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients and measure them out beforehand. Slicing the sausages and dicing the onion makes the cooking process smoother.
  2. Heat a skillet with olive oil. Add sliced sausages and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to coat with the flavors. Pour in the chicken broth, barbecue sauce, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your easy one-pan dinner.
