Creamy Chicken Sausage Orzo Bake ✨

The ultimate one-dish comfort meal 🤍
Creamy, flavorful, and so easy — everything bakes together in one dish, no stovetop needed.

Ingredients
	•	1 lb orzo pasta (uncooked)
	•	1 lb chicken sausage, sliced
	•	1 medium zucchini, diced
	•	4 garlic cloves, minced
	•	½ cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes, drained
	•	1 (5.2 oz) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs)
	•	¼ tsp black pepper
	•	½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
	•	1 tsp dried basil
	•	1 tsp dried oregano
	•	2 cups heavy whipping cream
	•	2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
	•	½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
	•	Juice of ½ lemon
	•	Fresh basil, julienned, for garnish

Instructions
	1.	Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
	2.	Combine everything in the dish: Add orzo, chicken sausage, zucchini, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, seasonings, cream, and broth. Stir until evenly mixed. Nestle in the Boursin cheese right in the middle.
	3.	Cover tightly with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
	4.	Mix in lemon juice so the Boursin melts into a creamy sauce, taste and adjust salt, then sprinkle Parmesan on top.
	5.	Bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
	6.	Rest 2-3 minutes before serving — the sauce thickens as it sits. Top with fresh basil.

💫 Tips
	•	If the sauce thickens too much, stir in a splash of warm chicken broth (or hot water) and re-season with salt.
	•	Add mozzarella or Monterey Jack before the final bake for extra cheesiness.
	•	Leftovers keep 3–4 days — add a splash of broth or cream when reheating.
