Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced chicken sausage and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- In the same skillet, add another drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add 1 cup of orzo and toast for 1-2 minutes until golden, then add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute more.
- Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth over the toasted orzo, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and return the sausage to the pan. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cups of chopped broccoli, cover again, and steam for another 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender.
- Remove from heat, fold in the zest and juice of one lemon and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.

Notes
Ensure to use a wide skillet for proper browning and avoid steaming. Toasting the orzo enhances flavor.
