Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese-filled tortellini (fresh or frozen)

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup spinach leaves (optional, for added greens)

Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

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

      Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring frequently. Bring to a gentle simmer.

        Add the Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken and tortellini back into the skillet. If using, stir in the spinach leaves until they are wilted. Toss everything together until the tortellini and chicken are well-coated with the Alfredo sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

            Serve: Divide the creamy Chicken Alfredo Tortellini among serving plates. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil for a fresh touch. Enjoy your delicious dish!
