• 1 (19 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 small red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1/3 cup flour

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 25 mins

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Cook pasta in water until al dente, according to package instructions, then drain.
2. While pasta is cooking: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for about 8 minutes, until meat is no longer pink in the middle. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
3. Add bell pepper and garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, until pepper is tender with a little bite left. Pour 2 cups of broth into the skillet.
4. While broth comes to a boil: stir flour, salt, pepper, and the last cup of broth together in a bowl. Add to the boiling broth in the skillet slowly, stirring until the sauce thickens.
5. Add chicken, lemon zest, hot sauce, and spinach to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes to wilt the spinach, then add drained pasta. Toss well to combine.
6. Serve sprinkled with cheese.
