Made this semi -homemade meal on the fly, getting ready for work. It was done in 50 minutes. While tortellini and rice cooked, I prepped the shredded cheeses and onion/pepper mixture. You can omit the Haberno cheese and add a full half cup of paremesan, but the amount is so small it's not really hot, just an under current of heat. I hope you like it if you decide to try it.

How To Make herbed chicken tortellini with saffron rice, iris

1
Gather all the ingredients. I used 2 skillets, one to prepare rice and one to boil tortellini.

2
Prepare each according to the package directions. After boiling tortellini, drain, return to skillet and coat with olive oil.
3
After rice is done, add diced onion and bell pepper to the rice with 1 stick of butter. Then add the basil and parsley, again mixing well
4
Gently mix in the chicken tortellini, being careful not to break them up. If mixture is too tight, add some chicken stock to loosen it up . Serve with a garden salad or green veggie of your choice.
