1 cup heavy cream
2 cups fresh spinach (baby spinach preferred)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep your ingredients: Chop garlic finely and rinse spinach under cold water.
Sauté the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Add garlic and spinach: Remove chicken from the pan. Sauté garlic until fragrant (30 seconds), then add spinach until wilted.
Create the cream sauce: Stir in heavy cream and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add tortellini: Mix in prepared tortellini and Parmesan cheese until well-coated in the sauce.
Combine everything: Slice chicken into strips, return to the pan, toss gently, and season with salt and pepper.
