A delicious one-pot meal combining chicken sausage, orzo pasta, and vibrant broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz chicken sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup Parmesan (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced chicken sausage and brown it for about 3-4 minutes until golden.
  3. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the orzo pasta to the skillet and toast it for 1-2 minutes, stirring until slightly golden.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes until the orzo absorbs most of the liquid.
  7. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, stir in the broccoli florets.
  8. Return the browned chicken sausage to the skillet, add the lemon juice, and stir everything together.
  9. Top with Parmesan cheese if desired and serve hot.

Notes

For a creamier dish, stir in some heavy cream or use a creamy cheese instead of Parmesan. Add red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
