Once the skillet is hot, add olive oil. After the oil starts to shimmer, add the sausage and cook until it\u2019s browned on both sides. While the sausage is cooking, dice your peppers, garlic, and onion. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside in a bowl. <\/li><li>Add the peppers and onion, saut\u00e9 until the onions are translucent. Then add in the garlic, salt, and pepper, cook until fragrant. Remove from the pan and add into the bowl thats set to the side, with the sausage.<\/li><li>Add the half can of tomato sauce and about 1\/3rd cup of chicken broth to the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer together and then add the paprika and (optional) cayenne.<\/li><li>Finally, stir in the cooked rice, sausage, peppers and onions until combined.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/C6540CDB-A2F4-44A5-BF4D-600042E06772-1024x766.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/C6540CDB-A2F4-44A5-BF4D-600042E06772.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/C6540CDB-A2F4-44A5-BF4D-600042E06772.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/C6540CDB-A2F4-44A5-BF4D-600042E06772.jpeg?resize=768%2C575&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/C6540CDB-A2F4-44A5-BF4D-600042E06772.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/D398FA49-AEC6-417D-873B-1E30C8BBEA62-1024x766.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/D398FA49-AEC6-417D-873B-1E30C8BBEA62.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/D398FA49-AEC6-417D-873B-1E30C8BBEA62.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/D398FA49-AEC6-417D-873B-1E30C8BBEA62.jpeg?resize=768%2C575&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/D398FA49-AEC6-417D-873B-1E30C8BBEA62.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/0283230A-5420-48A6-85DC-5766333A7A16-1024x766.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/0283230A-5420-48A6-85DC-5766333A7A16.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/0283230A-5420-48A6-85DC-5766333A7A16.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/0283230A-5420-48A6-85DC-5766333A7A16.jpeg?resize=768%2C575&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thechaoticnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/0283230A-5420-48A6-85DC-5766333A7A16.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First recipe up on the blog, how exciting!
