Money Saving Meals - Chicken with Tortellini and Broccoli

This is another quick meal that tastes great on these cold winter nights AND in the middle of summer.  And you can substitute frozen broccoli if you need to, it still works!

Chicken with Tortellini and Broccoli:

2 tablespoons Olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (one lemon)

1 10 oz Cooked chicken breast, cut into pieces

1 16 oz frozen cheese tortellini

1 lb Fresh broccoli, cut into florets

2/3 cup Italian blend shredded cheese

1. Fill a pot with water and place over high heat. Bring to a rolling boil

2. In a microwave-,-safe mixing bowl, combine oil, garlic, chicken broth and lemon juice. Add chicken and microwave on high for 1 minute, 30 seconds

3. 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 to 11 minutes. Drain tortellini and broccoli in a colander. Do not rinse

4. Add sauce and chicken to pot. Add tortellini and 1/3 cup shredded cheese. Toss well to coat tortellini and broccoli with sauce.

5. To serve, divide pasta and sauce between four bowls. Garnish with remaining cheese. If desired, season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper.
