Instructions
1-Whipping up this Marry Me Chicken Tortellini Skillet is straightforward and fun, starting with simple prep work that sets you up for success. First, mix the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl, then coat the cubed chicken breasts and shake off the excess. This step helps create that golden crust that makes the dish so tasty.
2-Next, heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until it hits 165 degrees Fahrenheit inside. Set the chicken aside once itβs done to let the flavors build. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken broth, then lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
3-Keep stirring as you add the crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, and thyme, letting it simmer to thicken. Finally, toss in the frozen tortellini, cover, and cook until tender, then mix the chicken back in for a cozy finish. Serve it hot with options like salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal that feels like a warm hug on a busy day.
