Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced plant-based sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, and diced celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice, chicken broth, rice, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet, mix well, ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice lightly with a fork.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free savory sausage and rice!
