Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (19 oz) bag frozen cheese tortellini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil (drained and sliced thin)
  • 3 teaspoons garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (finely shredded)
  • 2 cups baby spinach (chopped)

Instructions

1. Season chicken with black pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Set aside.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown for about 6-8 minutes; remove from skillet.

3. Lower heat and melt butter in the skillet. Sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for about 30 seconds.

4. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and paprika; whisk until bubbling.

5. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted.

6. Add cooked chicken, spinach, and tortellini; stir occasionally until spinach wilts (about 5 minutes).

7. Serve garnished with parsley and additional parmesan if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can use sun-dried tomatoes packed in Italian herbs. Make sure to not overcook the tortellini to keep it tender. Leftovers reheat well and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
