large onion, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
1
cup Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)

1
lb fresh asparagus spears, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2
tablespoons sliced pimientos (from 4-oz jar)
  • 1 In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage and onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Expert Tips

If not using a nonstick skillet, stir often to keep orzo from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.

Leftover chicken broth can be put into a Ziploc® Freezer bag and frozen for later use.

Coarsely chop onion in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade.

    This dish is a favorite for my 2yr old son and I! My husband ate it but is more of a meat and potatoes kind of man ;) I've made this twice now and I haven't changed anything in the recipe yet! Super tasty!

    Wonderful thought for this recipe. We changed it up a bit to use leftover Thanksgiving turkey. So instead of the Turkey Sausage we used shredded turkey. Also we used minute rice instead of Orzo and chopped tomatoes added at the end instead of pimento. So needless to say, we changed quite a bit but kept the primace the same.
