Chicken Spinach Pesto Pasta

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®)


  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Stir mushrooms, spinach, and kale into the skillet; cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat slightly and add tomato and pesto; cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Serve over tortellini.
