Ingredients
  

2 chicken breasts, diced

1 cup cheese tortellini

2 cups spinach, fresh

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup parmesan cheese, grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

      Add Garlic and Spinach: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Then, add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes.

        Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and slightly thickened. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth or pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked tortellini and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Toss everything gently until the tortellini is coated with the creamy sauce. Allow to heat through for about 2 minutes.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Marry Me Chicken Tortellini!
