Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 package cheese tortellini (about 9 oz)

2 cups fresh spinach

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let them rest before slicing them into bite-sized pieces.

    Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

      Add Tomatoes: Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they soften.

        Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Once simmering, add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

          Cook the Tortellini: In a separate pot, cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

            Combine Everything: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the cream sauce. Stir in the fresh spinach and the sliced chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and everything is heated through.

              Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
