1
Slice the sausage into ¼-inch rounds and dice the bell pepper.
2
Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet with a lid over medium. Add the sausage and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until browned on both sides.
3
Add the bell pepper and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until it starts to soften.
4
Stir in the smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and black pepper and cook 1 minute, until fragrant.
5
Add the diced tomatoes with their juice, the uncooked rice, and the chicken broth. Stir and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
6
Bring it to a boil, then cover, turn the heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes without lifting the lid.
7
Take the skillet off the heat and let it sit, still covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, taste for salt, and top with sliced green onions.
