- Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the diced apple, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Add the rice and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
