Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes per side depending on thickness.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Cooking
- In the same skillet, add the trimmed asparagus and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bright green and just tender.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing them to soften.
- Stir in the tortellini and 1 cup pesto sauce, tossing gently to coat. Ensure frozen tortellini is warmed through and tender.
- Slice the rested chicken and return the slices to the skillet, tucking them among the tortellini and vegetables.
- Cook everything together for another 2–3 minutes so the flavors meld and the chicken reheats.
- Serve hot, finishing each plate with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 3–4 days. For best results, reheat gently with a splash of water.
