Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes roughly chopped
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 16 ounces cheese tortellini
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with kosher salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Then add the flour and mix to coat evenly.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the minced shallot and garlic. Sauté until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add the tortellini, cover the skillet, and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the tortellini are tender, stirring halfway through. Stir in the cooked chicken, spinach, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese; cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
