Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add salt and cook tortellini according to package directions for al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
- In a large deep skillet, over medium heat, add oil and butter. Once butter has melted add in garlic and saute for a couple of minutes or until soft and fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Stir in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Turn off heat and pour in white wine and chicken broth, whisking constantly to deglaze the pan and create a thick lump-free sauce. Turn heat back on to a medium-low.
- Add in spinach, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir and simmer until spinach is wilted.
- Stir in sundried tomatoes, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. Simmer until warmed through and cheese is melted.
- Stir in shredded chicken and cooked tortellini and simmer JUST until warmed through so you don't dry out the chicken.
- Garnish with fresh basil and more parmesan cheese (if desired), serve and enjoy!
Notes
- *If you don't have or don't want to use white wine, simply substitute with more chicken broth.
