Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz Cheese Tortellini boiled
  • 12 oz Grilled Chicken I buy it already cooked and then heat it up
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Balls Ciliegine
  • 10 oz Cherry Tomatoes halved. You can use more or less depending on how much you like tomatoes
  • 2-4 oz Pesto You can use your favorite variety. I would add three tablespoons and then see if you like how saucy it is. Add more if needed.

Instructions
 

  • Boil the tortellini until they float. Drain and put into a bowl.
  • Heat up or cook grilled chicken and dice them into 1" bites
  • Pour the pesto over the tortellini, followed by the chicken, halved tomatoes and mix. Add more pesto if needed.
  • Add in mozzarella and give it a good mix. This dish can be eaten warm or stored in the fridge and then eaten cold.

Notes

I prefer this dish served warm because of the chicken. When I reheat this for lunch, I just put it in a microwaveable safe dish and heat it up. The mozzarella balls will melt a little, which I love. 
If you want to make this dish vegetarian, omit the chicken.
