Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 package (9 oz) cheese tortellini
  • 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook chicken in olive oil until golden and fully cooked, then set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add milk and gently heat, then melt in Velveeta cheese until smooth.
  4. Cook tortellini according to package instructions and drain.
  5. Return chicken to skillet and add spinach until wilted.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Add cooked tortellini and toss until fully coated in sauce.

Notes

  • Add milk if sauce becomes too thick.
  • Rotisserie chicken can be used for faster prep.
  • Fresh spinach wilts quickly—add at the end.
  • Best served immediately while creamy.
