Follow The Directions

01

Step

Cook the Tortellini: Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top but are still slightly firm, about 2 minutes. Drain well. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare the Chicken and Aromatics: Thinly slice sun-dried tomatoes. Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved tomato oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and sauté until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. (4.5 minutes)

03

Step

Create the Sauce: Pour in sun-dried tomatoes, diced tomatoes, heavy cream, and white wine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover skillet, and simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Combine and Thicken: Transfer chicken to a separate dish. Add spinach and basil to the skillet and stir. Increase heat slightly and boil until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Finish and Serve: Return chicken and cooked tortellini to skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and extra Parmesan cheese. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the garlic in a touch of butter before adding it to the skillet.
If you don't have white wine on hand, chicken broth can be used as a substitute.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture.
