Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent (about 3 minutes).
Add the sliced chicken sausage; cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the uncooked orzo and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes until orzo absorbs most of the liquid.
In the last five minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets; stir to combine.
Remove from heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
