Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chicken Sausage and Broccoli Orzo
- In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy.
- In the same skillet, add another drizzle of olive oil if needed. Toss in minced garlic and chopped onion, then sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent.
- Next, add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté them for around 3-4 minutes, until slightly tender while maintaining a bright green color.
- Stir in the orzo pasta, ensuring it's well-coated with the aromatics. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally until the orzo is tender and the liquid mostly absorbed.
- After the orzo is perfectly cooked, mix in the browned chicken sausage and stir well to combine.
- Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top, season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir gently to combine.
