One-Dish Marry Me Chicken Tortellini

Ingredients

• 20 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
• 2 cup rotisserie chicken (shredded; can substitute with smoked sausage)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (whole or halved)
• 2 cup fresh baby spinach
• 8 oz cream cheese (one block, optional)
• 4 slices cooked bacon (crumbled)
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
• 1 cup chicken bone broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• black pepper (to taste)
• garlic powder (to taste)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus more for topping if desired)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.

2. 2

   Add the refrigerated tortellini, shredded rotisserie chicken, and cherry tomatoes to the baking dish. You can cut the tomatoes in half first or leave them whole.

3. 3

   Add the fresh baby spinach, crumbled bacon, and sun-dried tomatoes to the dish.

4. 4

   Place the block of cream cheese in the center (this is optional but adds creaminess).

5. 5

   Pour the chicken bone broth and heavy cream over the ingredients.

6. 6

   Season the mixture with black pepper, garlic powder, and any other seasonings you prefer.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

8. 8

   Give the ingredients a light mix to distribute the liquid and seasonings, then cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

9. 9

   Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes.

10. 10

    If you want the cheese extra bubbly and browned, remove the foil after 25 minutes, add more cheese if desired, and bake uncovered for a few additional minutes.

Notes

You can substitute the rotisserie chicken with smoked sausage or another cooked protein of your choice. The cream cheese block is optional but recommended for a thicker, richer sauce.
