Chicken Spinach Tortellini Pasta

I had bought a package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts when it went on sale for $3.99/lb. I usually buy the bone-in chicken breasts with skin for $2.99/lb but with our increasingly busy schedule, I thought better of it and bought the boneless variety.

I had tortellini pasta and spinach in my fridge which also needed to be used up so I came up with this delicious recipe.

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
2 chicken breasts, cut up into bite sized pieces
1 pound baby spinach, washed and dried
1 package (500 g) fresh tortellini pasta
1-1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Directions
1. In a large pan over medium heat, cook chicken breasts in olive oil until it is no longer pink. Set aside.

2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package directions. Drain; do not rinse.

3. Add baby spinach to the pan until the spinach reduces in size.

4. Add in chicken, tortellini, Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir until combined.
