Instructions

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
2. Cook Sausage: Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Add Rice: Stir in the rice, ensuring it’s well-coated with the oil and vegetables.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the sausage to the skillet. Add the chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Cook the Rice: Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
