Description

A one-skillet dinner featuring chicken sausage, broccoli, and orzo for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 link chicken sausage (about 85g)
  • 1 cup dry orzo pasta
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup cheese (optional)


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add sliced chicken sausage and chopped onion, cooking until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add garlic and broccoli, stir briefly.
  4. Pour in orzo and enough chicken broth to just cover it. Simmer and stir to prevent sticking.
  5. After 10-12 minutes, when orzo has soaked up the broth, sprinkle with cheese if desired.

Notes

Customize with different vegetables or sausages. For best results, avoid overcooking broccoli and store leftovers with a splash of water.
