Ingredients

½ tablespoon olive oil
14 ounces Polska Kielbasa sliced on a diagonal
1 small onion diced
1 small bell pepper diced
2 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup white rice long grain, uncooked
2 cups low sodium chicken stock or chicken broth
2 cups broccoli florets bite size pieces, raw
2 cups shredded cheese divided, I used a cheddar blend

Instructions

Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large, lidded skillet.
½ tablespoon olive oil
Brown kielbasa in the skillet, 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon.
14 ounces Polska Kielbasa
Saute onion and bell pepper until onion is translucent. Make sure to work the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet - more flavor :)
1 small onion, 1 small bell pepper
Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper.
2 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper
Add rice to the skillet and stir to combine. Continue stirring for 1 to 2 more minutes.
1 cup white rice
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
2 cups low sodium chicken stock
Without disturbing the rice, add the broccoli to the top of the rice and cover again. Cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until rice is tender.
2 cups broccoli florets
Stir in kielbasa and 1 cup of cheese.
2 cups shredded cheese, 14 ounces Polska Kielbasa
Top with remaining cup of cheese. Cover with lid and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
2 cups shredded cheese

Storage Information

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.

Reheating:

Microwave: To quickly reheat, transfer a portion to a microwave-safe dish. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent drying. Heat in short bursts, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Stovetop: To reheat leftovers more evenly, transfer them to a skillet over low-medium heat. Add a splash of water or milk to prevent sticking and drying out. Stir occasionally until heated through.
