Chicken & Spinach Cheese Tortellini Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (20-ounce) package frozen three cheese tortellini
2 cups cooked and chopped chicken
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon each, salt, black pepper and Tony Chachere's Original creole seasoning
4 to 5 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • In a large, oven proof skillet over medium heat, simmer the cream cheese with chicken broth for 7-8 minutes, whisking constantly until well blended. Season with salt, pepper, and creole seasoning. Meanwhile, cook the tortellini as directed on package then drain in a colander. Preheat oven to 400°F. Add spinach to the cream cheese sauce and simmer for another 4-5 minutes. Stir in the tortellini and chicken. Pour into a 11 x 17" casserole dish or an oven proof skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for about 7-8 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

  • Choose the right chicken. A whole chicken is best for this recipe, but you can also use chicken breasts or thighs. If you're using a whole chicken, make sure it's about 3-4 pounds.
  • Season the chicken well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the chicken. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature. This will help the chicken to brown and crisp on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside.
  • Add the tortellini halfway through the cooking time. This will give the tortellini time to cook through without becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the chicken and tortellini with your favorite sauce. Some good options include marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or pesto.

Conclusion

Roasted chicken with cheese tortellini is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the tortellini is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
