Cook the Tortellini

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
• Add tortellini and cook according to the package instructions (usually 5–7 minutes).
• Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Chicken

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce

• In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
• Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up browned bits.
• Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing well.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg if desired. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.

Combine Everything

• Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir into the sauce.
• Add drained tortellini and spinach (if using), tossing gently to coat.
• Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Serve

• Transfer to plates and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper.
• Pair with garlic bread or a crisp side salad.
