- 8 ounces chicken sausage Cut into ¼ to ½ slices
- 2-3 cups broccoli Roughly chopped
- kosher salt
- ground black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup orzo pasta

Cooking Instructions
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 for another minute or so until browned.
Now add the broccoli to the pan and season with a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and slightly soft.
Then add the garlic and orzo, and stir everything together. Heat for another minute.
Add the chicken broth and stir. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to low, cover, 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!
