Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked long-grain white rice
- 4 cooked chicken sausages sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper diced

- 1 can (14oz) diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoon chopped green onion for garnish
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent and the bell pepper has softened.
- Return the sausage to the skillet along with the cooked rice, diced tomatoes (with their juices), Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well coated and combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover with a lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve hot. Done and delicious!
Notes
- Meal prep it into individual containers for grab-and-go lunches.
- Add a splash of hot sauce or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
- Use pre-chopped onions and peppers to make it even faster.
