Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients whenever possible.
If you don't have orzo, you can substitute another small pasta shape, such as penne or shells.
If you don't have any cooked chicken, you can cook some quickly by boiling it in salted water for 10-12 minutes, or by pan-frying it with a little olive oil.
If you don't have any frozen corn, you can use fresh corn on the cob. Just remove the kernels from the cob before adding them to the dish.
If you don't have any green beans, you can substitute another vegetable, such as broccoli or zucchini.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. You can add more or less salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder, depending on your preference.
For a creamier dish, you can add a splash of milk or cream.
For a more flavorful dish, you can add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or grated cheddar cheese.
This dish is best served immediately, but it can also be made ahead of time and reheated.

Conclusion:

This orzo with chicken, corn, and green beans is a quick and easy dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
