  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup orzo pasta
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 pound chicken sausage, sliced
– 3 cups broccoli florets
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 3 cups chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)


Instructions

Creating Chicken Sausage and Broccoli Orzo is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps for a delicious result:

1. Sauté Sausage: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Cook Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets, stirring to combine with the sausage and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli begins to soften.
4. Stir in Orzo: Add the orzo pasta to the pot, stirring well to incorporate all ingredients.
5. Add Broth and Seasoning: Pour the chicken broth into the pot, followed by the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
7. Finish and Serve: If desired, stir in the grated parmesan cheese just before serving.

These steps make it easy to create a satisfying meal that everyone will love.
