So yummy! I used 1/2 the pesto and added a splash of wine as suggested and it was delicious. My whole family loved it!

I loved this. The chicken alone is great and when added to the veggies and pesto is even better. My tortellini came out a bit soft and lacked flavor so next time I will cook it less and mix it in with the chicken/pesto mix in the bowl rather than place the chicken/pesto on top of the tortellini. Also, there are plenty of homemade pesto recipes in here and so simple - so try these rather than the pesto in a jar. This was great and easy!
This was exactly what I was looking for. I had chicken, tortellini and homemade pesto. It came out great but I did make a few changes. I used a box of frozen broccoli because I didn't have spinach or kale. Instead of tomato, I used sliced red pepper. It was yummy and I would definitely make it again. It works well with whatever you have on hand besides the chicken, tortellini and pesto...
Came up with this Idea and then searched for similar. Mine was Kale. Garlic butter. spaghetti. Italian sausage. OMG best meal ever had and not a veg fan and never had Kale before Family loved it
I forgot to buy a tomato, but other than that I made this recipe as directed. I think I actually would prefer this dish without the pesto, or at least with half the amount. It's not that I don't like pesto, but its flavor can be rather overpowering. I will try this next time without it, as I think this is a pretty good dish. With salad and bread this makes 6 servings.
Happened to have all the ingredients but tomato and kale. Very good flavor profile for
I made this tonight and substituted sliced Italian sausage for the chicken. I also added a little dash of red wine with the lemon juice. The whole family loved it!
I will definitely make this again! I didn't have kale so omitted it, and also only had half of a jar of pesto. This came out beautifully seasoned and very flavorful! Super quick to make, but tastes like you spent a lot of time.
