Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened.

2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear until golden on both sides, then remove and shred.

3. Add sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, and parmesan to the pot. Whisk and simmer.

4. Stir in cheese tortellini and cook until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.

5. Return shredded chicken and add spinach. Stir until spinach wilts and everything is well combined.

6. Simmer 2-3 more minutes. Adjust seasoning with crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper.

7. Serve hot with crusty bread or salad.

Notes

For extra richness, add a tablespoon of butter with the olive oil.

Don’t overcook the tortellini; they should be tender but not mushy.

You can swap spinach with kale or arugula depending on availability.
