Juicy Chicken
- Add all ingredients listed under “Juicy Chicken” to a bowl and mix until well coated.
- To a large pot over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil and sear the chicken on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, allow to rest for a few minutes then chop into bite sized pieces and set aside.
Marry Me Soup Base
- To the same pot add a bit more olive oil, the diced onions, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Allow to sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions and garlic become fragrant.
- Add a tablespoon of the Maggi chicken bouillon powder. Continuously stir to combine.
- Now that everything had been cooking for a few minutes, stir in flour until it’s fully incorporated. This will help thicken the soup as it cooks.
- To bring everything together, return the chopped chicken to the pot with water, heavy cream, the cheese-filled tortellini pasta and spinach.
- Cover and let everything come to a boil. Allow to cook for 8-10 minutes. Finish with fresh basil, dried oregano and parmesan cheese.
