Ingredients
Scale
1 pound of chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
1/2 cup of pesto sauce
9 ounces of tortellini (fresh or frozen)
1 cup of asparagus
1 cup of cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Gather all your ingredients. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, trim the asparagus, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Pre-measure your pesto and cheese.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the pesto sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
Add asparagus and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften while retaining some crunch.
Cook the tortellini according to package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes). Drain and add to the skillet with chicken and veggies, gently mixing everything together. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Plate your dish and enjoy it hot and fresh.
