    This Sundried tomato chicken pasta can be served hot or cold. It is a little bit creamy from goat cheese and full of amazing flavor from sundried tomatoes. You can make it quickly by cooking orzo and chicken ahead of time.

    What do you need:


    Orzo – you can use a brand like Jovial Foods to make this gluten-free
