  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter and reduced-fat butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, carrots, and broccoli, and sauté until the vegetables are softened.
  • In a separate bowl, cook additional onions in the microwave, then sauté with minced garlic until fragrant.
  • Heat the olive oil in the pot and add the sautéed onion, carrots, and celery, stirring until softened.
  • Stir in the cooked chicken and let it heat through. If using raw chicken, add it to the pot and cook until no longer pink.
  • Season the mixture with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Whisk in flour to thicken, then gradually add the heavy cream and chicken stock, stirring consistently.
  • Pour in the Alfredo sauce and bring the mixture to a boil, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  • Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook until al dente, usually around 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the half and half and sour cream.
  • If desired, stir in the baby spinach until wilted.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
