Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into small 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning (1 package) divided in half
- 15.25 ounces canned corn (1 can) drained
- 15 ounces Buitoni Alfredo Sauce
- 10 ounces canned tomatoes with green chiles (1 can)
- 20 oz Buitoni 3 Cheese Tortellini (1 package)
- 1/2 cup milk
Garnish (optional)
- chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium high heat. Once hot add chicken breast and half of the taco seasoning. Cook 2 minutes, without stirring, then flip and let cook an additional 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally until chicken is cooked through (165˚F internal temp.)
- Remove chicken from skillet and add corn in a thin single layer to the hot pan. Let cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes, then cook for an additional 2-3 minutes stirring regularly until it has a golden brown char on the outside. Remove corn from skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low and add alfredo sauce, tomatoes with green chiles (not drained), milk, and remaining taco seasoning. Mix to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Add the tortellini. Stir to coat the tortellini in the sauce and cover the skillet. Continue to simmer for about 5-7 minutes or until the tortellini is tender.
- Add the chicken and corn back in and mix to combine. To finish, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
