Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add Italian sausage to the skillet; cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Mix in diced tomatoes and their juices; simmer for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage mixture with uncooked rice, chicken broth, black pepper, salt, basil, oregano, and parsley.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
