The Easiest Chicken Broccoli Bake With Tortellini Ever

It’s suddenly Monday. The weekend was crazy busy and you never had a moment to go grocery shopping, let alone plan meals for the week. Perhaps, more weeks than not are like this scenario–that’s certainly been our story lately.

Chicken Broccoli Bake with Tortellini

This recipe is quick to throw together, only takes about 30 minutes in the oven, and tastes sensational. The dish is wonderfully creamy and can be made with any meat. You can even swap the veggies for whatever you have in your freezer or have growing in the backyard garden.

Plus, it creates minimal dishes to clean. Every second saved is valuable when you’re juggling multiple schedules.

We use those tallied seconds to squeeze in games, favorite shows, and priceless family time. Sometimes, I’ll even take a moment to read a book or slather my face with some exotic treatment.

For my family, this recipe results in enough food for two days of dinner. It reheats perfectly and the kids are always super satisfied. It’s also become my go-to recipe to leave for the kids while I’m traveling.

Additionally, I’m on a mission to teach my son, Adam, how to make simple dishes. He’ll be leaving for the Navy and on his own sooner than I can fathom. While the Navy will certainly teach him a lot, having easy recipes on deck for when he has to cook for himself or friends is an important life lesson.

Jen is a super picky eater, so she’d leave the red peppers out. However, I advise against this removal. They add such great flavor to the sauce and aren’t overpowering. Even my daughter, who has very similar taste preferences to her Aunt Jennie, loves this recipe.
