Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 20 oz frozen cheese tortellini
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups packed fresh spinach
- Minced garlic (to taste)
- Olive oil (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up browned bits; let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Lower the heat, then add heavy cream slowly while stirring continuously. Incorporate grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
- Stir in fresh spinach until wilted. Add frozen tortellini to the sauce, coating them thoroughly as they cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Slice the rested chicken and mix it back into the skillet before serving. Top with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
