Chicken and Zucchini Basil Pesto Tortellini

Step 1

In a large sauce pan, bring water to boil.  Add tortellini and cook according to package instructions until cooked. Drain.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium heat. Add zucchini, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and cook for about 5 minutes, flipping once, until soft. Remove to the plate.

Step 3

To the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, add chicken slices, sprinkle with salt, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through and not pink in the center.

Step 4

Add cooked zucchini back to the skillet. Add the tomatoes. Add tortellini. Add the pesto and mix everything, reheating gently just to warm up the dish slightly.

Step 5

Taste and add salt, if needed.
