Ingredients

  • 3 cups leftover shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 9-ounce package refrigerated three cheese tortellini
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup frozen green peas
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 3 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ Tsp Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, cooking for 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • Add the garlic and Italian seasoning, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until it turns a light golden color, about 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken stock and bay leaf, seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover, letting it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Stir in the chicken and tortellini, cooking until the tortellini is tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  • Mix in the heavy cream, peas, lemon juice, and parsley, cooking just until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
