- 1 lb (450 g) kielbasa or smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb (450 g) fresh green beans, trimmed (or 2 cans (15 oz) green beans, drained)
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved (red or yellow potatoes work well)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 1 tsp garlic powder

- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste

2. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the ingredients.
