For the Orzo

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken sausage and cook until browned. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the orzo pasta and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the broccoli florets and cooked chicken sausage to the skillet. Stir to combine, cover, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the broccoli is bright green.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Serve immediately. You can add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for extra brightness.
