One Pan Tortellini with Chicken

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 medium onion (chopped)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)

1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes (with juices)

1 cup heavy/whipping cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 cups shredded cooked/rotisserie chicken

2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach

Salt & pepper (to taste)

Freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional, to taste)

Directions

Melt the oil and butter in a deep skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until softened and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).

Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, diced tomatoes, cream, chicken broth, and tortellini. Increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Cooking the tortellini in the sauce helps thicken it (it releases starch). Reduce the heat if it's bubbling like crazy.

Stir in the chicken and cook it for another couple of minutes until it's warmed through and the sauce has reduced to your liking. Add a splash more cream if it gets too dry.

Stir in the spinach and let it wilt. Season generously with salt & pepper and serve with fresh parmesan sprinkled over top if using.
