Chicken Sausage Orzo

Approx. prep and cook time 15 minutes


Ingredients
-Orzo Pasta
-Chicken Sausage
-Tomatoe
-Spinach
-Olive oil

This meal took me about 15 minuets to cook, prepare and plate.  I started by putting my grill to preheat.  While that was happening I placed some water with a little bit of olive oil to boil for the Orzo.  I placed the sausage on the grill.  For this recipe I used a chicken and kale sausage.  While that was cooking I diced some tomatoe.  I turned my sausage.  The water was now boiling and I put the Orzo into the boiling water.  The Orzo I used was Gluten free so it took 11 minutes to cook but regular Orzo cooks in about 7-9 minutes.  I turned the sausage several more times to ensure even cooking.  After about 5 minutes of boiling I added spinach to the Orozo while it cooked. Once cooked I drained my Orzo but left about a cup of the cooking water in the pot with the Orzo. I added the tomatoe and sausage (which I cut into small pieces).  I mixed well and served.  For the cheese lovers in my house I added shredded Parmesan. 



This dish was creamy and delish.  It was quick and low fat.  Enjoy!
