  • Total Time: 32 minute
  • Diet: Vegetarian, Dairy-free, Halal-friendly (variations mentioned)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage or thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a large baking sheet, toss the cubed butternut squash and halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer.
  3. Roast the vegetables for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the sprouts are lightly browned.
  4. While the vegetables roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  5. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  6. Add the minced garlic and dried sage to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  7. Turn the heat to low. Add the cooked tortellini and the roasted vegetables into the skillet with the chicken.
  8. Toss everything gently to combine. If the pasta seems a bit dry, you can add a splash of the pasta cooking water or a little more olive oil.
  9. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top and stir gently until it just begins to melt.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!
