Notes
To store leftovers, let the dish cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or water to bring back the creamy texture. Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent the orzo from sticking. For a spice kick, use spicy chicken sausage or add red pepper flakes. Substitute broccoli for other veggies like spinach or bell peppers.
