# Instructions:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add a generous drizzle of olive oil. When hot, add sausage slices in an even layer and cook for 2–3 minutes. Flip and continue for 1 minute until both sides are golden.

Add the chopped broccoli to the skillet. Season with a large pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and just tender.

Add minced garlic and dry orzo to the pan. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.

Pour in the chicken bone broth. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10–15 minutes, until orzo is tender and liquid has been absorbed.
