# Add the red onion, asparagus, and garlic to the pot and until the asparagus is almost tender. Remove from pot.
# Add the pasta and chicken broth to the pot.
# Bring to a boil, and cook for 9-12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally.
# When the pasta is almost tender. Lower the heat and add in the milk, goat cheese, cooked vegetables, cooked bacon, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir to incorporate.
# Add the chicken back to the pot. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and bring to the table to serve! Enjoy!
