Add the rice and saute, stirring, until lightly browned.
Season with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Add the chicken broth to the skillet.
Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer over low heat for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid absorbed. Stir the shredded chicken, smoked sausage, and minced parsley into the rice; allow to heat through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Garnish with additional minced parsley, if desired.
