4 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups dry orzo
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups (about 25) grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup pitted and halved kalamata olives
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
