QUICK CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or soup pot to medium heat and add the oil. Put the chicken wings and breasts in skin-side down and cook without moving until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside the chicken.

Set aside the chicken to cool on a plate.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
