Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken Thighs boneless, skin-on
  • 3 tablespoon Olive Oil divided
  • 1 clove Garlic finely diced
  • 3 tablespoon Flour
  • 1 1/2 cup Broth
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan grated
  • 20 ounces Tortellini refrigerated
  • 4 strips Bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 ounce Sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 ounces Baby Spinach

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the chicken thighs (skin down). Cook chicken thighs for about 6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Remove chicken from skillet and place on a plate covered with foil.
  • Add 2 tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute. Then add flour and cook for 2 minute.
  • Pour chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet whisking until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a boil and add Parmesan.
  • Turn heat down to medium and add tortellini, bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach to the cream sauce. Cover pot and let cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally to make sure the tortellini is coated in the sauce and doesn't stick to the bottom of the skillet.
  • After 5 minutes nestle the chicken thighs into the pasta and continue to cook with the lid on for 3-4 minutes until tortellini is heated through.
  • Serve with a little more Parmesan sprinkled on top.
