Ever find yourself wondering, “Why have an average-sized bite of cheesy stuffed pasta, when you could have that same bite… but slightly bigger?” You’re asking the right questions, friend. That’s why our chefs created this fast and fresh 15-minute dinner idea featuring tortelloni (the jumbo brother of tortellini), topped with a garlicky pan-seared chicken cutlet topped with sun-dried tomato. It’s coated in a savory cream sauce loaded with fresh spinach and served with a side of toasty garlic bread. Thanks to tortelloni, you can go big and stay home!

Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. TIP: While water comes to a boil, move on to Step 2! • Once water is boiling, add tortelloni to pot. Cook until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat, leaving tortelloni in hot water (this helps the tortelloni stay warm as you finish cooking). Set aside.
• Pat chicken* dry and season all over with garlic powder, half the Italian Seasoning (all for 4), salt, and pepper. • Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. (At this point, start the garlic bread if you have downtime.) TIP: Lower heat if chicken starts to brown too quickly! • Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, slice crosswise.
• Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain tortelloni and return to pot. • Add spinach to pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, tossing gently, until mixture is combined and spinach is slightly wilted. • Stir in cream sauce base, cream cheese, and 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4). If needed, stir in splashes of reserved pasta cooking water until everything is coated in a creamy sauce.
• Halve and toast baguette; spread cut sides with as much garlic herb butter as you like. • Sandwich baguette halves back together and cut in half crosswise (you’ll end up with four pieces; eight pieces for 4). • Top tortelloni with sliced chicken; dollop sun-dried tomato paste over chicken. • Serve with garlic bread on the side.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
The flavor of the tortellini, the sauce, the seasoning of the chicken, and sun dried tomato paste were all absolutely delicious. The garlic bread was good too. I did not enjoy the texture of the pan-seared chicken breast. The meat was a tad chewy in an unpleasant way, and an unappetizingly thick piece of meat. It was very juicy/moist, but bland. I probably won't be ordering a chicken breast centered recipe again. I loved everything else.
This was easily one of my favorite meals from HelloFresh! Quick, easy and delicious! I added the sun dried tomato to the cream sauce rather than topping chicken. Will definitely choose again!
The sun dried tomato paste needed to be warmed or something. It didn't quite taste right. I think I would have preferred adding actually sun-dried tomatoes in with the spinach. Also, I think it would have been better to prepare the creamed spinach and then just toss the tortellini back in at the last moment. Tossing it with the spinach, it was very hard not to break it in the confines of the saucepan.
I really enjoyed this meal, it was one I was really looking forward to since it is a premium meal. I love the tortelloni and the seasonings for the chicken are scrumptious. Didn't care much for the tomato paste (just a personal preference.) I found the instructions a bit confusing, a lot of information in single columns.
This meal was surprisingly tasty--the tortelloni was a little on the heavy side, but it had a lot of good flavor--I especially liked the sun-dried tomato paste!
A little pasta with chicken and sun dried tomatoes, what is not to love. Loved this.
I wasn't sure if I would like the sun-dried tomatoes but the sauce was really delicious paired with the chicken.
Really good. Loved all of the flavors, especially the sun-dried tomatoes. Let's have this one again.
I was nervous about adding the roasted tomato paste to the chicken but actually it wasn't overpowering and tasted delicious. The pasta amount first seemed small but once I started eating it was enough. I diced my chicken though cause leaving it on a skillet, due to me just not being able to get the center of the chicken fully cooked. I do suggest adding extra butter when cooking the chicken
This dish was very good! The seasonings and spices for the chicken were so good, the garlic or butter on the baguettes was on point, and the fresh spinach with the sauce recipe was delicious!
