Description

A quick and flavorful one-pan meal featuring cheese tortellini, tender chicken, and fresh vegetables tossed in a vibrant basil pesto sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 9 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini according to package directions, adding broccoli during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Add cooked tortellini, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir in pesto until everything is well coated. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
