1. Preparing the Chicken

Season the chicken pieces with ½ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp Italian seasoning, and ½ tsp paprika. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices and set it aside to marinate for a few minutes.

2. Cooking the Chicken

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Making the Marry Me Sauce

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 2 tbsp butter to the same skillet. Once melted, sauté 3 tsp minced garlic and ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Then, pour in 1 cup chicken broth and 2 cups heavy cream. Add 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp paprika, and whisk continuously until the sauce starts to bubble.

Slowly whisk in 1 cup of finely shredded Parmesan cheese until it melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

4. Combining the Ingredients

Add the cooked chicken, 2 cups chopped baby spinach, and the 19 oz bag of frozen cheese tortellini into the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring they are coated evenly with the sauce.

5. Final Simmer and Garnishing

Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes or until the spinach wilts and the tortellini is heated through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese before serving.
