Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds chicken breast, cubed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup prepared pesto
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup baby spinach
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Saute until chicken is cooked through and has browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from skillet and transfer to a bowl; cover to keep warm. Set aside.
  • Deglaze pan with chicken broth over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in pesto and heavy cream. Cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Add in spinach and tomatoes. Cook until spinach begins to wilt, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add tortellini and cooked chicken and continue cooking until bubbly and hot, 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and serve.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The chicken was a bit dry and the tortellini was overcooked. The pesto sauce was also a bit bland.
