why make this recipe

Marry Me Chicken Tortellini is a delightful dish that combines tender chicken, creamy sauce, and flavorful tortellini in one pan. It’s perfect for a weeknight meal or a romantic dinner. The creamy sauce coated with garlic, tomatoes, and spinach makes it extra special and irresistible. Plus, it’s quick to prepare, making it an ideal choice when you’re short on time but still want something delicious and satisfying.

how to make Marry Me Chicken Tortellini

Ingredients :

2 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup spinach
1 cup tortellini (fresh or frozen)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish

Directions :

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let them rest.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Sauté until the tomatoes are soft.
Stir in the spinach and cook until it is wilted.
Add the tortellini and heavy cream. Bring everything to a simmer and cook until the tortellini is tender.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and slice the cooked chicken to place on top.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.

how to serve Marry Me Chicken Tortellini

Serve Marry Me Chicken Tortellini warm, directly from the pan. You can plate it simply with a slice of the chicken on top and a sprinkle of fresh basil for a pop of color. It pairs well with a side salad or some crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.

how to store Marry Me Chicken Tortellini

To store leftovers, place the chicken and tortellini in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to store it longer, you can freeze it. Just make sure to cool it completely before putting it in a freezer-safe container. It can last in the freezer for about 2 months. When reheating, add a splash of cream to help restore its creamy texture.

tips to make Marry Me Chicken Tortellini

Make sure to use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
If you like a little heat, try adding red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic and tomatoes.
Feel free to substitute the spinach with other greens like kale or Swiss chard.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in Italian seasoning or your favorite herbs before cooking.

variation (if any)

You can easily customize this recipe by adding vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. For a lighter version, you can use chicken thighs instead of breasts or swap the heavy cream for a light cream or milk. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with roasted vegetables and skip the chicken altogether.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen tortellini in this recipe?
Yes, frozen tortellini works perfectly! Just add them directly to the skillet without thawing.

2. How can I make this dish gluten-free?
You can use gluten-free tortellini and check that your Parmesan cheese is gluten-free.
