  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked tortellini (cheese-filled or your favorite)
• 1 lb chicken breast, grilled or sautéed, sliced
• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• ⅓ cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Fresh basil or grated Parmesan (for garnish)


Instructions

Cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a skillet, heat olive oil and cook asparagus for 4–5 minutes until just tender. Add cherry tomatoes and cook 2 more minutes.

Add cooked chicken, tortellini, and pesto to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything in that fragrant basil goodness.

Warm through, then season with salt and pepper.
