    Recipe Introduction


    "Chunks of chicken and vegetables share the bowl with lightly cooked, iron-rich leafy greens, and plump, cheesy tortellini."


    List of Ingredients




    12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    2 14-1/2-ounce cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
    3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
    1-3/4 cups water
    2 medium carrots, cut into matchstick strips (1 cup)
    2 cups packed torn fresh purple kale or spinach
    1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed
    1 9-ounce package refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini

    Recipe



    1. Rinse chicken; pat dry. Cut the chicken into 3/4-inch pieces. In a Dutch oven heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken and garlic in hot oil for 5 to 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in chicken broth, mushrooms, water, carrots, kale (if using), and tarragon.

    2. Bring mixture to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 2 minutes. Add tortellini. Simmer, covered, for 5 to 6 minutes more or until tortellini is tender. Stir in the spinach (if using).


    Makes six 1-1/3-cup servings.
