Directions
Creamy Pesto-Piccata Chicken With Tortellini, An easy, satisfying dish that makes a great week night supper or an elegant company dish This is a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken, or pick up a rotisserie chicken on the way home from work Pair it with a green salad and some crusty bread and you have a simple yet heavenly meal , So yummy! Restaurant quality flavor IMHO I only used 1/4 cup Pesto– and that, of course, affected the outcome but I thought it was delish! Thanks!, Wonderful dish I always just get a rotisserie chicken for this to cut out the cooking chicken step I don’t like mustard, but I love this dish Just be a bit conservative with the mustard if it’s not your thing My husband likes this too, and he doesn’t like mustard or pesto The combination really brings out the best in all of the ingredients
