Creamy Chicken Sausage Orzo Pasta

This is a dinner that comes together quickly & hits the essentials: protein, vegetable, & carbs – all in one dish – along with the other essential: FLAVOR!

Ingredients:

4 – 5 chicken sausage links, sliced (if the package of chicken sausages has 4, use that, or because mine had 5 & I didn’t want a lone one leftover, use all of them)

3 – 4 cups baby spinach

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp Thyme

2 cups chicken bone broth

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 cup Orzo, dry

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/3 tsp salt

1 tbsp olive oil

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Ingredients:

Drizzle olive oil over a large skillet, bring to medium high heat, add chicken sausage, & cook/ heat for 6-7 minutes, until lightly browned. Add minced garlic & sauté for 30 seconds, stirring to ensure it doesn’t burn. Stir in orzo to toast for 60 seconds. Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, & seasonings; mix well. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover & simmer for 10-12 minutes; stirring occasionally until orzo is tender & liquid is mostly absorbed. Stir in spinach leaves until wilted. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
