Made this for dinner last night! I subbed a 1/4th of cream cheese from Philly to cover for corn starch...other than that I subbed Chicken Thighs for tenders...it was delectable! The Best tasting 15 min meal this far! Thank you and God Bless!

cook after adding in the tortillini? wont the chicken be wayyy overcooked by the end?

I think that cubed chicken in pasta sauce with tortellini is bland. I was looking for something else. This fit the bill. Made it tonight and my husband enjoyed it. Used half and half instead of cream. Had no cornstarch - so I mixed some bisquick in with the chicken broth and added a pat of butter and mixed that up as a thickener. No roasted peppers, just extra pepper flakes and a spoonful of diced cherry peppers, fresh thyme and basil chopped up instead of spinach. Very tasty.

Does frozen tortellini have to be used?
