Everything comes together in one skillet plus one pot, so cleanup is a breeze on a busy weeknight. The habanero-citrus glaze ties the sausages and rice into one bold, cohesive meal that feels anything but ordinary.

Ingredients

For the Sausages & Vegetables

4 spicy chicken sausages, sliced into ½ in rounds
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp orange zest
½ tsp lime zest
1 habanero pepper, seeded and finely minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp soy sauce
¼ tsp smoked paprika

For the Vegetables

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Zesty Rice

1½ cups long-grain white rice
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp orange zest
½ tsp lime zest
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp unsalted butter
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Steps

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, orange juice, lime juice, orange zest, lime zest, habanero, garlic, soy sauce, and smoked paprika. Set the glaze aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the rice, orange zest, lime zest, and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 18 minutes undisturbed.
While the rice comes up to a boil, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage rounds in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the red onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Season with salt and black pepper and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly charred at the edges.
While the vegetables finish cooking, check that the rice has about 5 minutes remaining. Push the vegetables to the edges of the skillet and return the sausage rounds to the centre.
Pour the habanero-citrus glaze evenly over the sausages and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and coats everything in a sticky, glossy layer.
Once the rice timer goes off, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the butter, lime juice, and cilantro. Fluff gently with a fork and cover for 2 minutes to finish steaming.
Serve the sausage and vegetable skillet directly over the zesty rice and enjoy immediately.
