Directions Chicken Spinach Pesto Pasta
Directions
-
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil, stir in tortellini. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, season with parsley, lemon juice, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.
Stir mushrooms, spinach, and kale into the skillet, cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat slightly and add tomato and pesto, cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Serve over tortellini.
