This easy, high-protein one-pan 'Marry Me' chicken inspired sausage and orzo dish is perfect for a quick 30-minute dinner. It serves 4-6 and features chicken sausages, sun-dried tomatoes, and a creamy sauce with parmesan and fresh kale.
1: Add olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the sausage. Stir occasionally and cook for 5-6 minutes until the sausages start to brown.
2: Add in the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes then tip in the sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped basil. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
3: Add the orzo and broth. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4: Once the orzo is cooked through, stir in the cream. Add the kale. Once the kale wilts, add the parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
5: If the dish is too thick, thin it down with a bit of water or additional broth. Serve with fresh basil and more parmesan cheese.
