Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz kielbasa sausage (sliced)
  • 1 cup white or brown rice (uncooked)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (steamed)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add rice, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the rice is cooked.
  • Stir in steamed broccoli and cooked kielbasa. Add sour cream and mix until combined.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover the skillet until the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Garnish with green onions (optional) and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use smoked sausage or andouille instead of kielbasa for a different flavor profile.
  • Swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa for a healthier twist.
  • Add red bell peppers or carrots for extra vegetables and color.
  • This dish can be made dairy-free by using a non-dairy cheese and sour cream substitute.
