Fill a small pot with the water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat for 10 minutes.
Add the orzo to the boiling water. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until tender. Meanwhile, season the chicken on both sides with the rest of the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes. Flip and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more until the center is opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken finishes cooking, place the green beans in a steamer basket over the boiling orzo or in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender.
Drain the orzo and return it to the pot. Stir in the butter until melted. Slice the chicken and serve it alongside the orzo and green beans.
