PESTO CHICKEN, TORTELLINI, AND VEGGIES

Pesto Chicken, Tortellini, and Veggies � healthy, easy-to-make Mediterranean-style dinner that is good for you and it tastes like comfort food!

This recipe uses basil pesto and tortellini too � and you can buy both in most grocery stores. Which makes this recipe a great and healthy choice for a weeknight dinner, when you don�t have that much time to cook.   Just buy some tortellini and pesto (plus chicken and veggies) in the store, and quickly make this pesto chicken tortellini with veggies.

This easy chicken recipe is packed with colorful vegetables: red and yellow grape tomatoes, asparagus, and sun-dried tomatoes, combined with the delicious cheese tortellini.   Everything is generously smothered with basil pesto and olive oil.   I love how well-balanced this dish turned out to be thanks to the combination of the veggies, healthy oils (olive oil and basil pesto), protein (chicken), and a moderate amount of carbs (tortellini).
