Here’s how to prepare Creamy Chicken Sausage Orzo effortlessly:

1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Sausage: Add the sliced chicken sausage to the skillet. Sauté until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, add diced onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Then, add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add the Orzo: Stir in the uncooked orzo, allowing it to toast slightly for about 1-2 minutes.
5. Pour in Chicken Broth: Add chicken broth, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to release any flavors. Bring to a gentle boil.
6. Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
7. Add Cream and Seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Adjust according to your taste.
8. Incorporate Spinach: Fold in the fresh spinach until wilted, which should take about 2 minutes.
9. Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken sausage to the skillet and stir until well combined.
10. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

By following these simple steps, you’ll have a creamy and delicious meal ready to serve.
