Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 12 oz frozen cheese tortellini
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6–7 minutes total.
- Add garlic and cream cheese: Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in minced garlic and cream cheese until well combined.
- Pour in chicken broth: Gradually add the chicken broth while scraping up browned bits from the skillet. Let it simmer for about 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Incorporate spinach and tortellini: Add frozen tortellini and fresh spinach. Stir gently until the spinach wilts and tortellini is tender (about 5–7 minutes).
- Finish with Parmesan: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
