Orzo and Chicken Salad
I think you will like this recipe for orzo and chicken salad. This was my very own creating and it turned out so well, that the family asked me to keep it around. Bonus, this was a crazy easy recipe to make. I have since given it a tweak to match my gluten-free cooking needs….
