Chicken sausage with orzo and spinach

From Its.HolisticHannah

This was really good, prob one of my faves of all time.  It was easy to put together and it cooked quickly.

2 tbs butter

1 lbs chicken sausage sliced 

3 cloves of finely minced garlic

1 c orzo 

2 c chicken broth

1/4 c heavy cream* 

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp dried or fresh thyme

2 c torn baby spinach

1/2 c parmesan cheese

In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sausages, cooking until lightly browned

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant

Add the orzo and toss to coat

Add the broth, cream, and spices

Bring to a simmer and then cover and cook over low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally

Add in the baby spinach and toss to wilt the spinach

Off heat season for taste, top with cheese and stir

*We didn't have heavy cream and we subbed 1/2 and 1/2 

Make sure you've got 2 1/2 cups of liquid 

It might be nice to gelaze with some white wine too, so reduce the broth mixture
