Chicken Sausage and Broccoli Orzo Delight made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups orzo pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken sausage
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Add the orzo, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  6. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
