Ingredients
2 tbs olive oil, divided
1 lb chicken breast, cubed
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, divided
1 lb asparagus, trimmed
1/4 cup water
9oz cheese tortellini
1/3 cup basil pesto
8oz cherry tomatos, sliced in half
Directions
- Heat a large deep skillet to medium heat add in 1 tbs of olive oil once oil is hot add in the cubed chicken, 1/4 cup of the sun dried tomatoes and season with salt stir together and cook for about 7-8 minutiae or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Once chicken is cooked remove to a separate plate cover with foil to keep warm and set to the side.
- To a pot of boiling water add the tortellini cook according to package instructions, drain and set to the side. (To avoid the cooked tortellini from sticking together stir in 2 tbs of olive oil after the pasta is cooked and drained)
- In the same pan we cooked the chicken in add 1 tbs of olive oil, asparagus, 1/4 cup of sun dried tomatoes, and water. Cook on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes or until the asparagus is to the tenderness you like it to be.
- Once asparagus is tender sitr back in the cooked chicken, and pesto.
- Stir in the cherry tomatoes, and cooked tortellini. Once the tortellini is coated in the pesto its ready to enjoy! We like to serve ours with parmesan cheese on top.
