Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (20-ounce) package frozen three cheese tortellini
2 cups cooked and chopped chicken
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon each, salt, black pepper and Tony Chachere's Original creole seasoning
4 to 5 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

In a large, oven proof skillet over medium heat, simmer the cream cheese with chicken broth for 7-8 minutes, whisking constantly until well blended. Season with salt, pepper, and creole seasoning. Meanwhile, cook the tortellini as directed on package then drain in a colander. Preheat oven to 400°F. Add spinach to the cream cheese sauce and simmer for another 4-5 minutes. Stir in the tortellini and chicken. Pour into a 11 x 17" casserole dish or an oven proof skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for about 7-8 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Serve immediately and enjoy!
