1 (8 ounce) package tortellini, in refrigerated section of the store (I like the 3 cheese tortellini, but you can also use the chicken & cheese one.)
1 (4 -8 ounce) package pesto sauce, in the same section as the pasta (in a plastic container with lid about the size of a small package of dip)
Green Giant sliced mushrooms

garlic powder (optional) or fresh garlic (optional)

Steps:

Boil tortellini according to directions on package.
Meanwhile, cut your chicken up into cubes.
While cooked pasta is draining empty can of mushroom soup, drained jar of sliced mushrooms, about half of the milk, and about 2/3 of the pesto into the large saucepan over low to medium-low heat. Stir together.
Dump pasta & cubed chicken breast into pan. Fold together with soup/pesto sauce.
