CHICKEN & SPINACH CHEESE TORTELLINI RECIPE - (3.9/5)



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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you put too much chicken or tortellini in the pan, it will not cook evenly.
  • Roast the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the tortellini to the pan during the last 10 minutes of cooking. This will ensure that it is cooked through but not overcooked.
  • Serve the chicken and tortellini with your favorite sauce. Some good options include Alfredo sauce, pesto sauce, or marinara sauce.

Conclusion:

Roasted chicken with cheese tortellini is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
