1cupkale or spinachroughly chopped
½cupcheddar cheesegrated
Instructions
Sauté the onions, peppers and zucchini until starting to soften and add the orzo: Reduce the heat to medium.
Stir in thyme, pepper and salt. Add the chicken broth, raise the heat and allow the liquid to come to a simmer, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the half-and-half and bring it to a simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover the pan, lower the heat and simmer gently for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender. Most of the liquid will be absorbed at this point.
Add the chicken sausage and spinach and stir until spinach wilts. Sprinkle in the cheeses in batches, stirring after each addition until the cheese is all melted.
