Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 piece Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces Refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 3
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the baby spinach and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are softened.
Step 5
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Gently fold in the cheese tortellini and cooked chicken. Let everything simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini is warmed through and coated in the sauce.
Step 7
Season with additional salt and crushed red pepper flakes to taste, if desired.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if preferred.
