One Pan Cheddar Jalapeño Sausage & Rice Skillet

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil a large deep skillet with a lid over medium high heat. Add the sausage, trying to get them in one even layer the best you can, and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden brown. Set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet and reduce heat to medium. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeño and stir occasionally for 5 minutes. Add the seasonings and rice and stir to fully combine. Add the chicken broth and bring the heat to high. Stir in the spinach and cheddar cheese then add the sausage on top. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender. Let it sit, still covered for an additional 5-10 minutes. Top with parsley and a drizzle of ranch dressing to serve.
