Ingredients

  • 1 (9-oz) package three-cheese tortellini
  • 1 (26-oz) jar vodka pasta sauce
  • 1 (4-oz) jar diced pimientos, drained
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (or ½ cup egg substitute)
  • 1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 1 lb chicken breast tenders
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss pasta with vodka sauce and diced pimientos; place in 9-inch square baking dish.
    2. Place eggs in shallow bowl; place bread crumbs in second bowl. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Dip chicken into egg (allowing excess to drip off). Finally, coat chicken with bread crumbs; press with fingertips to coat evenly. Arrange chicken on top of pasta (wash hands). Bake 30–35 minutes and until chicken is 165°F.
    3. Top pasta with cheese; bake 2–3 more minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand 5 minutes to cool. Chop basil; sprinkle over top and serve.
