Recipe View Serve immediately, topped with a generous dollop of ricotta cheese.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the sausage and chicken in batches. This will prevent overcrowding the pot and ensure a beautiful sear.
Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chicken broth as needed. The orzo should be creamy, not soupy. Add broth in small increments until you reach your desired consistency.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity.
Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage, such as sweet Italian or chorizo, to customize the dish to your liking.
