Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and sauté for about 5-10 minutes until cooked through.
- Add diced sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Remove chicken and tomatoes from the skillet, leaving the oil behind.
- In the same skillet, add trimmed asparagus, lightly seasoned with salt, and sauté for about 5-10 minutes until tender yet crisp.
- In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook tortellini according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Return cooked chicken thighs and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Add basil pesto, stirring to coat evenly and heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
- Gently fold in the cooked tortellini and halved cherry tomatoes, tossing until well combined and warmed through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread or a light salad.

Notes
