1-Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sliced chicken sausage for 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown. This step builds a flavorful base that makes the whole dish pop.

2-Add the chopped broccoli, season with kosher salt and ground black pepper, and sauté until it’s bright green and slightly softened.

3-Stir in the minced garlic and orzo pasta, toasting for about a minute to enhance those flavors.

4-Pour in the chicken broth, bring it to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to low for simmering 10-15 minutes until the orzo is tender.

5-Remove the cover, stir in the shredded parmesan cheese, and serve hot. For more options, sprinkle extra parmesan on top if you like.
