Light Chicken Orzo

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1/2 pound orzo (1/2 box)

1 can french cut green beans

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels, thawed

1 whole roasted chicken, (3 pounds), skin discarded, shredded (about 3 1/2 cups)

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook orzo until al dente, according to package instructions; add green beans during last 6 minutes of cooking. Drain; rinse under cold water until cooled.

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add corn and 1 teaspoon salt; cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Toss pasta and green beans with corn mixture and chicken. Season generously with salt and pepper.

I bought a whole chicken and cooked it like a rotissiree it was $4.50.

Orzo is in the pasta section because it's - PASTA!!! Which means its a great price $1.50

Everything else is canned or frozen so it is uber easy.

Total cost for this meal - $9.50ish for 6 people!

Lots of leftovers!

I served this with crisp cold apples. Its a favorite meal in my house!
