Orzo and Rice

This was really simple and easy to add to. It's like a homemade rice-a-roni! I added a little more chicken bouillon and some chopped onion and parsley. I sprinkled some Parmesan cheese on top after it was served. It went well with some grilled chicken (marinated in Italian dressing). I ate the leftovers for lunch today!

I hadn't bought orzo pasta before because every where I found it was too expensive. But I found it for $1 for 16 oz. which isn't too bad. Not as cheap as other pastas, but still good.
