One Pot Chicken Tortellini Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs (I slow cooked them in the crockpot for 6 hours)
• Seasonings for chicken: ms Dash, onion powder, garlic, onion salt, pepper
• 20 ounces of refrigerated tortellini
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2½ cups chicken broth
• 1½ cups heavy cream
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 package fresh spinach
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons chopped basil

Instructions

1. I seasoned and slow cooked the chicken in the crockpot for 6 hours, I just like it cooked this way. You can skip this step if you like.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and season (if you haven't already) Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned.
3. Remove the chicken from the pan; set aside
4. Add the butter to the pan and melt; whisk in the flour and cook for a minute.
5. Stir in the chicken broth and cook 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
6. Add the tortellini to the pan and bring to a boil; cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure tortellini is coated with liquid.
7. Stir in the cream and parmesan and cook for 1 more minute.
8. Add the chicken back to the pan along with the spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until spinach is wilted.
9. Fold in the tomatoes. Sprinkle with basil and enjoy!
