Chicken Tortellini Alfredo

I fed a family of 5 and 2 toddlers off this recipe and had about 1 1/2 cups left over.

3 boxes of dried tortellini, I used DaVinci Multicolored Cheese, cooked according to package
2 tbsp olive oil
4-5 chicken tenders
2 tbsp butter
1 large finely chopped clove of garlic
1/2 cup of frozen spinach
1 large rough chopped tomato
6 large button mushrooms sliced
1 jar Alfredo sauce

Put 2 tbsp of olive in large skillet, add chicken and cook until done through. Remove from heat and chop into a small bite size. Add butter, garlic, spinach, tomato and chicken in skillet. Cover and cook over medium low heat about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and jarred Alfredo sauce. Simmer uncovered about 5 minutes until sauce is heated through and the mushrooms have cooked down. Pour over warm pasta and combine. Top with more diced tomato as garnish.
