The source did not specify the weight of the chicken, mushrooms, or package of orzo, or the amounts of Parmesan, cream, and seasonings; estimated quantities have been included to facilitate preparation. The source did not specify the cooking time for the orzo after adding the water, so cook it, stirring occasionally, until tender.
