I don’t know about you, but anything I can do to make life a little easier is way up at the top of my list. And making an easy dinner after a hard day is sure to be on that list.
I am always on the lookout for quick but healthy dinner solutions that are relatively easy and have minimal clean up. I’ve made other quick dinners such as Italian Chicken Noodle Casserole and Italian Pork Chops but this dish would definitely win, hands down! All in the same pan, makes a quick, easy and utterly delicious chicken and tortellini dinner on a busy weeknight.
