Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes, boneless, skinless
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning divided
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth 12 ounces / 360 g
- ¾ cup heavy cream 178.5 g
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated, 75 g
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes soaked in warm water until softened, then chopped, about 8 whole
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1 package cheese tortellini refrigerated, 9 ounces
- 2 cups spinach fresh, 60 g
- 2 tablespoons basil chopped for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Evenly season the chicken with the mixture.
- To a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in heavy cream and cream cheese, whisking until smooth.
- Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously to avoid clumping.
- Stir in the remaining ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, sun-dried tomatoes, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Add the tortellini directly into the sauce, stirring to coat. Let it simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and absorbs the sauce.
- Return the cooked chicken and spinach to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 more minutes until the spinach is wilted.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh basil for garnish. Serve hot.
