Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large boneless skinless chicken breast about 12 ounces
1 jar Alfredo sauce 15 ounces
½ cup milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 package three cheese tortellini 18 ounces
2 cups fresh spinach
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken and cook until brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
Add sauce and milk to skillet, pour broth into empty jar, put the lid back on and shake, pour into skillet. Cook until sauce is hot, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
Add tortellini and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until pasta is tender.
Stir in spinach and cook, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and top with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Look for tortellini in the refrigerated section or deli section of the store. The dry tortellini found on the pasta aisle won't work in this recipe because it'll absorb too much liquid. I haven't made this with frozen tortellini but I do think it'll work because it has a similar cook time as refrigerated.
