4Chicken Sausages
Cut into 1/2 slices and cut those into quarters
½ tspRed Pepper Flakes

1 ½ cupsOrzo

Instructions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large high-rimmed sauté pan over medium heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add red pepper flakes and orzo, stir to combine, and toast for 2 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to simmer. Stir often so the orzo doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Add more chicken broth as needed. Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and the orzo is cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 3
When the orzo is nearly cooked, add the corn and basil pesto. Stir to combine. Serve immediately with parmesan cheese.
