Ingredients
Scale
4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs) of boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup of pesto sauce
1 package (9-12 oz) of fresh tortellini
1 bunch of asparagus
1 cup of cherry tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients and chopping the asparagus and garlic.
In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
Once the chicken is cooked, add minced garlic to the skillet and stir for about a minute until fragrant. Add asparagus and cherry tomatoes, sauté for 3-4 minutes until asparagus is tender yet crisp.
Add fresh tortellini to the skillet along with ½ cup of water. Stir well and cover, letting it simmer for about 5 minutes until tortellini is tender.
Stir in pesto sauce until all ingredients are coated and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top just before serving, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
