One-Pot Chicken Sausage Orzo
Directions
- 1Add olive oil to skillet and heat to medium.
- 2Add chicken sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes, untouched, until the bottoms are golden brown. Flip your sausage and let cook for 1 more minute.
- 3Add your onion and bell pepper, and stir. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and peppers begin to soften.
- 4Add garlic, Calabrian chilies, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until just fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- 5Add orzo, water, and bouillon, and stir. Let simmer for 8-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until orzo is cooked through. If the pot starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low.
- 6When orzo is cooked, turn off the heat. Add spinach and parmesan. Stir until spinach is wilted.
- 7Add lemon juice and stir. Taste, and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately with extra parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper.
