    Chicken Spinach Tortellini Alfredo only requires 7 ingredients, one pan, and can be on the table in about 30 minutes. A win-win-win!

    I am always trying to come up with new dinner ideas. Aren’t we all, right?! This Chicken Spinach Tortellini Alfredo is a winner. If I can come up with a meal that is easy, quick and doesn’t require every pan in the house, then I have accomplished something.

    Lee cleans up the dinner dishes every. single. night. Even after working 8 or more hours, (I’ve said it before, I am a lucky gal!) so I love it when I can make dinner in one pan. We still have salad bowls and maybe even a bread pan, but clean-up is pretty streamlined with a meal like this.

    It seems like a lot of the time when I am trying to come up with an easy meal everyone will love, pasta is involved. Most of the time a pasta dish is a real hit with the kids, too. Who doesn’t love a good pasta dish, right?

    One thing I have learned about cooking over the years is that once you learn a method, you can change it in many different ways, to make many different dishes.

    If you use red sauce instead of Alfredo sauce, use steak or ground beef, and change the vegetable in a dish like this then voila!, you have a completely different dish. There are so many possible combinations that my mind is just going bonkers trying to think of them all.

        I sometimes have a hard time finding it so I use what the store has. I use the kind in the refrigerated section and what I have found the most is Buitoni. I have seen it on the aisle with the dry pasta but I have never tried it.

          You may want to specify type of tortellini in ingredients list as a dry pasta would need more liquid to cook properly.

      I made this. I cut up and cooked bacon, then browned the chicken. I also added one jalapeno. It was so yummy. My granddaughters loved it (5 & 7). Thanks for sharing.

      This recipe is delicious but I wonder if adding diced tomatoes could add something to the dish.

      Do you remove the chicken after it’s cooked and then readd it once everything is done or keep the chicken in the pan the whole process?

        I don’t take the chicken out. I just proceed with the recipe. Thanks, Mindy

      Are you supposed to cut up chicken after browning it?

        I have edited the recipe because I forgot to include the step to cut the chicken before you brown it. Thanks for asking so I could include this step.
