There is a reason this dish is famous. It is the perfect comfort meal when you want something that tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant but is easy enough to make on a busy weeknight.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how the sun dried tomatoes add such a deep flavor to the cream sauce. If you want a little extra heat, feel free to sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving.

Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 package refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 cups fresh baby spinach
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan.
3
Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
4
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic, sun dried tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for one minute until fragrant.
5
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer gently for a few minutes until it begins to thicken.
6
Stir in the parmesan cheese until smooth, then add the cooked chicken and spinach to the pan.
7
Once the spinach has wilted, toss in the cooked tortellini and stir until everything is well coated and heated through.
8
Serve warm with a little extra parmesan on top.

💡 Tips

This dish stores well in the fridge for up to three days. If the sauce thickens too much while reheating, just add a splash of milk or broth to loosen it back up. It pairs beautifully with a side of crusty garlic bread.
