Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 package cheese tortellini (about 20 ounces, refrigerated)
2 cups baby spinach
1 tablespoon chopped basil or parsley

Instructions

Season chicken with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Cook chicken for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly golden and nearly cooked through.
Add garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and red pepper flakes. Cook 30 seconds.
Stir in flour for 30 seconds.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Add Italian seasoning.
Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add tortellini and cook 4 to 5 minutes until tender.
Stir in Parmesan until melted.
Add spinach and stir until wilted.
Rest 1 to 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Garnish with basil or parsley and serve.

Notes

Use refrigerated tortellini for the fastest cook time.
Do not boil the sauce too hard after adding the cream.
If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of broth.
If reheating leftovers, add a little milk, broth, cream, or water to loosen the sauce.
This dish is best served fresh, since the tortellini absorbs sauce as it sits.
