Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
- Sun-Dried tomatoes
- Fresh spinach
- Heavy cream
- Garlic
- Italian seasoning
- Red pepper flakes
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Toss in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Make sure to stir continuously to avoid burning!
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Then, add the cooked tortellini and spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts and everything is well combined.
- Slice the cooked chicken and nestle it back into the skillet, allowing it to soak up the creamy goodness for a few minutes.
- Taste the dish and add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
- Serve the Marry Me Chicken Tortellini Skillet hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley for an extra touch!
