CHICKEN TORTELLINI TOSS

*1 bag cheese tortellini
* 1-2 large chicken breast
* 1/2- 3/4 jar of Classico roasted tomato pesto sauce
* Fresh broccoli (give or take 2 cups. I like more, so I add more!)
* 1 can diced tomatoes
* Fresh grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

- Cook chicken, cut, and set aside. (I've pan seared it, and sliced it, chunked it, or boiled it and chopped it. Do it however you like.) Meanwhile, boil tortellini according directions on package. Add the broccoli to the water at the last three minutes or so. Drain water. Add the can of diced tomatoes and pesto to the tortellini and broccoli. Then add the chicken. Serve with Parmesan cheese on top. (Feel free to add any other Italian seasonings you might like. I think that the pesto sauce is pretty flavorful, so I like to just add more pesto.)

As you can tell, this recipe is easily adaptable. Other substitutions can include doing half broccoli with half califlower.
