You guys, my family loved loved loved this meal. Normally, I try to stay away from pastas and lots of cheeses, let alone talk too much about them on Diethood, buuuuut, some things just deserve to be told. That is the case with this One Pot Italian Chicken Tortellini Recipe.
First of all, don’t know if you can recall – probably not and I don’t expect you to – but this recipe came about after I made that Creamy Chicken Pesto Tortellini recipe for us a few months back. Because I was left with several boxes of frozen cheese tortellini, I decided to make something similar to it, but with marinara sauce in place of the creamy pesto sauce + zucchini + all in one pot. And in 30 minutes.
WHAT WE WILL NEED…
- chicken
- box of frozen cheese tortellini
- zucchini
- cream cheese
- marinara sauce
- wine
- chicken broth
- fresh mozzarella
- fresh basil
HOW TO MAKE ONE POT ITALIAN CHICKEN TORTELLINI
- Cut up the chicken into bite sizes and brown on all sides.
- Cut the zucchini into half-moons; set aside.
- In a bowl, combine wine and chicken broth and whisk until incorporated.
- Add marinara sauce and cream cheese to the skillet; whisk until cheese is melted, then stir in the broth mixture.
- Stir in tortellini, zucchini, and chicken; cover and cook for 8 minutes.
- Arrange mozzarella slices over the top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat; garnish with basil ribbons and serve.
Simple, delicious, elegant and quick! One pot dinners can’t get much easier than this. Just several ingredients plus a bit of time, and dinner will be ready in a flash.

ONE POT CREAMY PARMESAN CHICKEN TORTELLINI
This One Pot Creamy Parmesan Chicken Tortellini is a family friendly meal that’s ready in no time! It’s packed full of golden brown chicken, veggies and tortellini, all in a creamy parmesan sauce.
Hi, it’s Sara from Dinner at the Zoo bringing you a super easy dinner recipe that’s perfect for those hectic weeknights! Chicken and pasta are always a great combination, and in this case I’m using tortellini instead of your standard pasta. This recipe starts with the chicken – you can use chicken breasts or chicken tenders here, simply cut them into 1 inch pieces. The chicken goes into a hot pan and gets cooked to golden brown perfection. Next comes the tortellini and some chicken broth. I use a refrigerated fresh tortellini for this dish, you can choose your favorite flavor. I tend to make this dish with cheese tortellini. The nice thing about tortellini is that they only take a few minutes to cook!
After the tortellini is cooked, I add in some cream and parmesan. The final step is to add in your veggies. I wilt some spinach in the sauce and stir in some fresh tomatoes. Other great veggie options would be kale, drained canned tomatoes or even thawed frozen broccoli. The final touch is a sprinkling of parsley and you’ve got dinner perfection!
This chicken with tortellini is perfect as-is or serve with a simple green salad or garlic bread. I love that this is a meal my whole family will eat without complaint, and that there’s only one dish to clean at the end!
