Chicken Green Bean Tortellini Pot
This can be served as a soup or a stew I make it often with my garden green beans but frozen beans will work well also… the amounts listed are really only a guideline so feel free to adjust amounts as desired…
All that is needed with this is a side salad and a loaf of crusty bread!
Servings 4-6
Ingredients:
1/4 cup oil (or as needed)
1 pound boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts, cut into pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (rubbed between fingers to release the flavors, can use more)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes, or adjust to taste
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped (garlic lovers use more)
1/2 pound fresh whole green beans, ends removed and sliced in half
6 cups chicken broth
2-1/2 cups fresh cheese-filled tortellini
seasoned salt and freash ground black pepper, to taste (can use white salt)
1 tablespoon cornstrach
1 tablespoon cold water
1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste (more to at at the table).
Instructions:———————————————
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add in chicken cubes and cook until well browned; remove to a plate.
Add in onion, carrot, Italian seasoning and chili flakes; cook until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
Add in garlic and green beans; stir for 2 minutes.
Return the chicken back to the pot then add in chicken broth and fresh tortellini; bring to a boil and simmer for about 12-15 minutes.
Meanwhile in a small bowl whisk the cornstarch with water; set aside.
At the end of cooking while the mixture is still at a simmer mix in the Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper then mix in the cornstarch/water mixture and simmer for another few minutes or until slightly thickened.
Ladle into bowls then top with more Parmesan cheese.
