Directions

1. Start by cooking your pasta according to the instructions on the package. When done, strain it, return it back to the pot, and set aside.
2. While your pasta is cooking, add your chopped chicken to a large mixing bowl along with 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp paprika and a little salt and pepper. Mix to coat.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in 1 Tbsp olive oil. Once your oil is hot, add in your chopped chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until your chicken is cooked through and has a nice color on the outside.
4. While your chicken is cooking, in a bowl add 1.5 cup of milk, 1 cup of broth, and 3 Tbsp of corn starch. Mix until no clumps remain and set aside.
5. Once your chicken is done cooking, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Return that same skillet back to the stove, reduce the heat to medium, melt in 1 Tbsp of butter. Add in your chopped spinach and cook for 30 seconds. Add in your chopped garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
6. Pour in your milk and broth mixture. Add in 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp ground coriander, and 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg. Mix and let this continue to cook.
7. Once your liquid starts to boil, turn off the heat and mix in 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese.
8. Pour your sauce into the pot with your cooked tortellini, cooked broccoli, and add in your cooked chicken. Mix everything together, give it a taste, add salt and pepper to preference.
