This dish whips up in no time at all. Using premade tortellini and a jar of alfredo sauce makes it go quick.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of chicken breast tenderloins
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 package of frozen or refrigerated cheese tortellini
• 1 jar of alfredo sauce
• 1 bag of fresh spinach
• 2 pears cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 tablespoon of amaretto
• Whipped cream

Preparation:

Cook the tortellini in boiling water or according to package directions.
Cook the chicken tenderloins over high heat in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Remove from heat, add one tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
Cook the spinach in the olive oil until wilted.
Cut the chicken into small pieces.
Remove the spinach and place on a serving plate with high sides. (A pie pan will do.)
Put the chicken and tortellini in a pan and cover with the alfredo sauce to warm through.
Pour the amaretto over the pears and toss to coat.
Place the pears in a dessert dish and put a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Place the chicken tortellini in sauce on top of the spinach.
