In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat and add the ground Italian sausage along with the diced onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking the sausage apart as it browns, until the sausage is no longer pink and the onion is translucent. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to taste for a fragrant base.

Once the sausage is cooked, carefully push it to one side of the skillet. Use a paper towel to soak up any excess grease at the bottom of the skillet, ensuring your Italian Sausage Rice is not overly greasy.

To the skillet, now filled with the savory sausage mixture, add long-grain white rice. Stir for about 1 minute, allowing the rice to lightly toast and absorb the delicious flavors from the sausage and seasonings.

Now, gently pour in the unsalted chicken bone broth, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet tightly with a lid. Cook the Italian Sausage Rice for 20 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Afterward, use a fork to gently fluff the rice, mixing in the sausage evenly.

Finally, sprinkle chopped Italian parsley over the top of your perfectly cooked Italian Sausage Rice, adding a fresh touch.
