Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
10 ounces chicken breasts, cooked, cut into pieces
16 ounces cheese tortellini
1 lb broccoli floret
2/3 cup Italian cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Fill a pot with water and place over high heat. Bring to a roiling boil.
  • In a microwave-safe dish, combine oil, garlic, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Add chicken and microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
  • When water boils, add tortellini to pot and stir. When water returns to a gentle boil, add broccoli and stir. Stir occasionally until tortellini is done, approximately 8-11 minutes Drain tortellini and broccoli in a colander. Do not rinse.
  • Add sauce and chicken to pot. Add tortellini and 1/3 cup shredded cheese. Toss well to coat tortellini and broccoli and sauce.
