Roasted Tomato & Chicken Sausage Orzo
This easy orzo recipes combines roasted tomatoes and chicken sausage with a creamy and flavorful orzo that cooks in one pan!
Equipment
- Sauté Pan This Made In Sauté Pan is my favorite for making orzo dishes!
Ingredients
- 12 oz Chicken Sausage I used Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella Fully Cooked Chicken Sausage
- 20 oz Cherry Tomatoes can also use grape tomatoes
- 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil divided
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 5 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 to 2 Shallot minced; depending on size
- 1.5 cups Orzo uncooked
- 3 cups Chicken Broth more as needed
- 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes more or less to taste
- 1/2 cup Half and Half can use heavy cream for a richer sauce
- 1/2 cup Fresh Basil roughly chopped; more to serve
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated; more to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice chicken sausage into 1/2 inch rounds. You can optionally cut the tomatoes in half as well. On a half sheet pan, place the chicken sausage on one half and place the tomatoes on the other half.
- Drizzle the tomatoes with about 2 tbsp of olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the sausage gets browned and the tomatoes start to burst.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining tbsp of olive oil in a large high-rimmed sauté pan. Add minced shallot and cook for 2 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook another minute. Add uncooked orzo and toast for another minute.
- Pour in chicken broth. Mix well and bring to a boil. Add black pepper and red pepper flakes. Lower to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the orzo cooks through or about 10-15 minutes. Add more broth as needed.
- Once the orzo is cooked through, turn the heat to low and pour in the half & half. Stir to combine. Stir in the basil. Finally, add the parmesan cheese and stir until well combined and melted.
- When the sausage and tomatoes are done, stir them into the orzo. Serve immediately with additional basil and parmesan.

Tried this recipe?Let me know how it was!
July 11, 2022 at 10:25 pmThe flavor is amazing and the dish is great but WAYYYYYY too spicy, like almost to the point where I couldn’t eat it BUT I did because the flavor was great. Definitely cut down on the red pepper flakes. I’d recommend 1/4 tsp rather than 1 full tsp.
July 13, 2022 at 9:19 pmThanks for the feedback! I updated the recipe to cut down on the red pepper flakes. Thanks for trying out the recipe!
