Chicken and Cheese Tortellini with Pesto
Prep time 5 minutes
Cook time 15 minutes
Serves 4
» 4 oz boneless chicken breast (about 1 breast)
» 12 oz tortellini
» 1/8 cup pesto
» 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Tortellini is a favorite for even the pickiest children. Chicken provides them with protein and most like pesto especially with extra Parmesan cheese. Sauté chicken the day before. Pack in a Thermos food jar for lunches.
1 In a small, nonstick skillet lightly coated with cooking spray, sauté chicken for 4 minutes per side or just until no longer pink. Let cool, then dice.
2 Meanwhile, boil the tortellini for 8 minutes or until just tender. Drain and place in a serving bowl. Add the chicken, pesto and parmesan cheese and toss well.
