This is another addition of my many kids after-school snacks / "mini-dinners". My son loves this one. Sometimes, I replace the chicken with (or add) Pepperoni so it is like a Pepperoni Pizza Pasta stick!

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 6 inches wooden skewers
  • 12 tortellini, cooked, store bought flavor of your choice
  • 8 ounces string cheese sticks, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 8 ounces chicken breasts, cooked and cut into 12 bite sized cubes
  • 12 black olives
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into 12 bite sized squares
  • 6 grape tomatoes
  • 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed and your favorite variety

Directions

  1. 1
    Alternate piercing ingredients on each of the skewers.
  2. 2
    Serve to your kids with the warm marinara sauce as an after-school snack, lunch, or dinner.
