Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients. Chop chicken, mince garlic, and slice sun-dried tomatoes. Rinse and dry spinach if using fresh.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, then pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir until well combined and let simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Fold in cooked cheese tortellini and fresh spinach. Cook for additional 3-5 minutes until spinach wilts.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning as desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overcook the chicken for tenderness. If sauce is too thick, gradually add more broth for desired consistency.
