Brown the Chicken and Sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sliced sausage, cooking until the chicken is browned and the sausage is slightly crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add Rice and Spices: Stir in the rinsed rice, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika, ensuring the rice is well coated with the spices.
Add Broth and Cook: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return the browned chicken and sausage to the pan. Cover and cook on low heat for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Finish and Serve: Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot, with extra Cajun seasoning on the side if needed.
