Rinse 2 cups of par boiled rice in a strainer to remove starch.

Slice 14 oz of chicken sausage into rounds.

Dice 1 yellow onion and 1 green bell pepper.

Heat 1/4 cup canola oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until hot.

Add sausage and diced veggies to the pot and sauté for about 4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Stir in 2 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste, 1 tbsp kosher salt, 1 tbsp white pepper, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, and 4 tsp white sugar; mix well.

Add rinsed rice to the pot and stir until well incorporated; cook for about 5 minutes.

Pour in 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth and stir.

Cover the pot and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven, fluff the rice, cover again, and let it finish baking in the off oven for another 10 minutes.

Transfer the rice to a bowl and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
