Instructions


1 Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2 Add the uncooked tortellini, chicken, cherry tomatoes, pesto, 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella, ¾ cup water, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the baking dish.
3 Stir everything together until evenly combined. Make sure the tortellini is well coated and distributed in an even layer.
4 Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
5 Carefully remove the foil and stir. Check the tortellini for doneness. If the dish looks dry or the tortellini still needs additional cooking, stir in a splash of the remaining water.
6 Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup mozzarella evenly over the top.
7 Return to the oven uncovered and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8 For a golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully.
9 Let rest for 5 minutes before scooping and serving.
