Ingredients
Method
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the orzo, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a creamier version, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream just before serving.
