Cooking Steps

  • In a large skillet on med/high heat, drizzle a good amount of olive oil in the pan. Once hot, add the sliced chicken sausage. Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes then flip each slice and cook on the other side and cook another minute or so to get each side browned.
  • Now add the broccoli to the pan and season with a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and slightly soft.
  • Then add the garlic and orzo and then stir everything together. Heat everything for another minute.
  • Add the chicken broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then turn the heat to low, cover the skillet and simmer for another 10-5 minutes until orzo is soft.
  • Once all the liquid is absorbed, add the parmesan cheese and stir together. Serve immediately and sprinkle more parmesan cheese over if desired. Enjoy!
