Method
Preparation
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the orzo pasta and cook for an additional minute. Then, pour in the chicken broth and bring everything to a boil.
- Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let the orzo simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until it absorbs most of the broth. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the orzo is cooked, add the heavy cream and stir in the spinach, allowing it to wilt. Return the sausage to the skillet.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined, and the sauce is creamy.
- Enjoy your delicious creamy chicken sausage orzo skillet warm!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Can also freeze for up to a month. Add a splash of broth or cream when reheating if the sauce thickens.
