Ingredients:
- olive oil
- 8oz fully cooked chicken sausage
- 1 package fresh broccoli, chopped into florets
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1) Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until browned on both sides.
2) Add broccoli and season with salt and pepper. Continue to saute until broccoli is vibrant green, about 5 minutes.
3) Add garlic and orzo pasta. Stir quickly for about 1 minute to incorporate everything, but also to keep the orzo from burning.
4) Add chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to a summer, and cook until the pasta is done and liquid is absorbed, approximately 10-12 minutes. If the pasta is cooked and a lot of liquid remains in the skillet, remove the lid and continue to cook uncovered to let the liquid evaporate.
5) Stir in parmesan cheese and serve or divide into containers for meal prep.
