Chicken & Apple Sausage with Orzo and Feta [Shanna]

This is an original recipe... I created.

4 Links of Chicken & Apple Sausage (I buy mine at the farmer’s market – but I have seen it in stores. If you buy from the store, Whole Foods is the best!)
Feta Cheese – Original Flavor
2 cups Orzo Pasta
4 Cups Chicken Broth
1 Yellow Onion
2 Zucchini
Pine Nuts – Toasted (optional)
Non-stick Cook Spray or oil
Salt

Heat skillet with non-stick cook spray or a little bit of oil (oil is needed because there is very little fat in chicken sausage).
In separate pot, heat and bring to a boil, the 4 cups of chicken broth.
Chop onion and zucchini into small chunks – but keep separate.
Remove sausage from casing and add to skillet with the onion. Chop up the sausage into pieces (like hamburger meat). Add salt.
Cook sausage until brown.
Meanwhile add the orzo to the boiling chicken broth reduce heat and cover, stir occasionally. Cook this like you would rice. It will absorb all of the broth.
When sausage and onion are browned, add the zucchini and cover. Cook just until the zucchini starts to soften. Don’t overcook.
In a bowl, layer some of the orzo, then the meat mixture, then sprinkle feta and pine nuts (optional) to taste.
Shanna~
