Italian Chicken Breast w/ Whole Wheat 3 Cheese Tortellini

Dinner Tonight: Italian Chicken Breast w/ Whole Wheat 3 Cheese Tortellini








I'd like to start off by saying my prayers and thoughts go out to the family and friends of American journalist James Foley, whose life was violently taken away by a bunch of cowards and animals. May they be brought to justice soon! It's getting a little warmer and more humid here today and it's going to get worse they say. Went to the store early for Mom and myself and then over to see my Dad. They moved him to a rehab center and he seems to be getting a little better now day by day. For dinner tonight I prepared an Italian Chicken Breast w/ Whole Wheat 3 Cheese Tortellini.









I used a Perdue Perfect Portions Italian Style Chicken Breast, which I love using. They're  individually wrapped and you can keep them in the fridge or freezer, then and just grab one when your ready to use it. I baked a couple of them, one for dinner and one for lunch tomorrow. I preheated the oven to 350 degrees and baked the breasts for about 24 minutes. Easy to fix and they always turns out perfect as these did!





I then used Buitoni Whole Wheat 3 Cheese Tortellini. It had been awhile since I prepared this, it's a very good Tortellini and always fresh. To prepare it, just boil your water and add a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to it. When it comes to a full boil add the Pasta and reduce heat to a gentle boil and boil for 6-8 minutes until done. When done I made a bed of the Pasta and added my Italian Chicken Breast on top. I then added some fresh grated  Sargento Asiago Cheese and 2 tablespoons of Ragu Original Pasta Sauce to top everything off! I also had a slice of buttered Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert/snack later a few slices of Turkey Spam and Ritz Whole Grain Crackers.
