DirectionsGet to the point

1Brown 1 lb sliced kielbasa 4 min; add 1 diced onion + 1 bell pepper, cook 4 min.

2Stir in 4 garlic, 1.5 cups long-grain rice, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp thyme, 30 sec.

3Pour in 3 cups chicken broth; bring to boil, cover, reduce to low simmer 18 min.

4Rest covered 5 min off-heat; fluff with fork, top with scallions.

Dad pro tip

Long-grain white rice is the only rice that works reliably in a covered skillet. Basmati works too but drops the water to 1:1.75. Brown rice needs 45 minutes and different liquid — don't try to swap without adjusting.

Kid adjustment

Cut kielbasa slices in half (into half-moons) before browning — smaller pieces are easier for kids to spear with a fork. Serve with a squeeze of ketchup on the side.

Reheat

Warm in a covered skillet over medium-low for 5 minutes with 2 tbsp chicken broth stirred in to re-fluff the rice. Microwave in a covered dish with a splash of water if in a hurry.
