Herbed Chicken and Orzo

8 oz. dried orzo
1-1/2 cups 1-inch fresh green beans
1 whole roasted deli chicken
2-5.2 oz. containers semisoft cheese with garlic and herbs (I like Laughing Cow cheese)
1/2 cup milk
1-1/2 cups shredded carrots
2 T. snipped-fresh Italian parsley

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 3-quart oval or rectangular baking dish, set aside.

Cook orzo according to package directions, adding green beans during last three minutes of cooking; drain. Meanwhile, cut chicken into 6 pieces; set aside.

In large bowl whisk together cheese mixture; stir until coated. Stir in shredded carrots. Spoon into prepared baking dish. Top with chicken pieces.

Bake, covered 30-40 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

Serves 6.
