Chicken Spinach Pesto Pasta
- 1 (16 ounce) package tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cups chopped mushrooms
- 2 cups chopped spinach
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) jar pesto (such as Classico(R))
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain.
- Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; season with parsley, lemon juice, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.
