Orzo with Creamy Chicken (Betty Crocker w/ adjustments)

1 1/3 c. orzo pasta (8 oz.)
2 T. butter
3/4 lb. chicken breast, diced
3 c. sliced mushrooms (8 oz.)
1/4 c. sliced green onion (~3 medium)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 T. flour
1/4 t. powdered thyme
1/8 t. pepper
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. cream
1/2 c. parmesan

Cook pasta as directed on package (orzo takes a lot of water). Melt butter in a saucepan. Cook chicken, mushrooms, onions and garlic about 5 min. or until chicken is fully cooked. Add flour, thyme, and pepper and stir until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk and cream. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in parmesan. Serve with orzo.
