Chicken Veggie Tortellini

My sister used to make this chicken veggie pasta for everyone, and I decided tortellini would be fun to try...it was delicious!I only used the Tyson pre-cooked, frozen, grilled chicken breasts because they were easy and we had them. The olive oil was to cook them...you'd still need it to cook raw chicken anyway, though, so this is pretty true to calorie either way.It is the kind of recipe you can personalize--I tossed in peppers, my sister sometimes throws in tomatoes, zucchini and squash are good in this recipe...you can even sub the chicken with ham! Or no meat at all!And it's really, really tasty with some parmesan or romano cheese.

How Do I Make Chicken Veggie Tortellini?

Here is how you make Chicken Veggie Tortellini:

1. Put water on to boil. 2. In another pan, heat the frozen chicken breasts in the olive oil on medium heat until they're about done. Remember, they're already fully cooked. If they're not hot all the way through when you cut them up, it's not a crisis--they'll get that way when you put them in later. When you think they're about done, pull them out and put them on a plate or cutting board.2. When water is boiling, add tortellini and set timer to 10 minutes.3. Add veggies and chicken broth to the pan, and cover. Allow to simmer, so veggies cook nicely. Meanwhile, cut up the now-cooler chicken breasts to desired size (I go for cubes). When veggies look about done, add the chicken and spices and stir well. Again, allow to simmer and come together.4. When the timer goes off, drain the pasta and cover. 5. When the veggies are to your liking, add them to the pot of tortellini, stir, and serve!Serving Size: Serves 8Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user THATBRONWYNGIRL.
