One Pan Pesto, Corn, and Chicken Sausage Orzo
A delicious and summery one pan orzo dish that comes together quickly with minimal ingredients!
Servings: 4 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 Chicken Sausage Cut into 1/2 slices and cut those into quarters
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes adjust for your spice preference
- 1.5 cups Orzo Pasta uncooked
- 3 cups Chicken Broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 cup Corn fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup Basil Pesto store bought or homemade
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated to serve
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large high-rimmed sauté pan over medium heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add red pepper flakes and orzo, stir to combine, and toast for 2 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to simmer. Stir often so the orzo doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Add more chicken broth as needed. Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and the orzo is cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
- When the orzo is nearly cooked, add the corn and basil pesto. Stir to combine. Serve immediately with parmesan cheese.
