Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 (20-ounce) package cheese tortellini
• Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Cook the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest. Once cooled, slice the chicken into thin strips.
2. Sauté the garlic and tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Make the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using).
4. Add the spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until it wilts into the sauce.
5. Cook the tortellini: While the sauce is simmering, cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
6. Combine the ingredients: Add the sliced chicken and cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
7. Serve: Transfer the Marry Me Chicken Tortellini to serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley.

Enjoy your Marry Me Chicken Tortellini as a delicious, romantic meal that brings together rich flavors and creamy textures, perfect for a special occasion or any night you want to impress.
