This rice dish with vegetables and sausages also features chicken wings and a flavorful homemade vegetable broth, which gives it plenty of taste without making things complicated. It's one of those meals I love placing right in the middle of the table to share at an unhurried pace. These quantities yield three servings, and it takes about an hour from prep to finish.

For this chicken and sausage rice, I use round short-grain rice, which soaks up all the flavor from the broth and the rest of the ingredients wonderfully. I combine onion, carrot, and sweet corn with frozen peas, green beans, and mushrooms: a practical way to use what I have on hand and put together a hearty home-cooked meal to share.

If you enjoy these cozy homemade rice dishes, I recommend my Rice with chicken wings and Rice with vegetables, two great ways to switch up everyday meals.

Frequently asked questions

How do I store leftover rice?

Divide any leftovers into shallow containers and place them in the fridge within an hour—don't let rice cool down completely on the counter. Eat within 24 hours, and only reheat the portion you're going to eat until it is piping hot throughout.

Can I use chicken sausages?

Yes, you can swap the sausages for the same amount of chicken sausages. If using fresh raw sausages, make sure they cook through completely before serving.

Is this chicken and sausage rice gluten-free?

Rice, vegetables, and plain unseasoned chicken wings are naturally gluten-free. To make a gluten-free version, be sure to also check the labels on the sausages, paprika, and any store-bought ingredients used for the broth.
