Slice the chisso, smoked sausage, and hot dogs into bite-sized pieces about 1/4 of an inch thick.

In a large pan on medium heat, heat 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil until hot.

Cook the sliced sausage, chisso, and hot dogs for about 5 minutes or until browned, then remove from the pan and set aside.

Add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to the pan and cook the onion for about 2 minutes to soften.

Add minced garlic, diced bell peppers, and chopped tomato to the pan; stir to combine.

Season the vegetables with 1 tsp of paprika, crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper to taste, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme; stir again.

Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium-high heat for about 2 more minutes until the vegetables are softer.

Add 4 cups of chicken broth or water to the pan, depending on the type of rice being used; cover again and bring to a boil for about 3 minutes on high heat.

Once boiling, add in the 2 cups of rice and stir.

Add the reserved sausage, hot dog, and chisso pieces back into the pan; stir to combine.

Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low; cook for about 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked, checking the rice package instructions for timing.

After 20 minutes, check the rice; it should be tender with no liquid remaining.

Taste the rice to ensure it is cooked through.

Add in the fresh parsley and remove the thyme sprigs before serving.

Transfer the jambalaya to a plate, arranging the sausage and chisso pieces for presentation, and garnish with more parsley.
