Allow sauce to simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.

Transfer the cooked chicken back into the skillet and combine with the sauce.
09 -
Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are evenly heated.
10 -
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm over cooked cheese tortellini.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For optimal texture, drain excess oil from sun-dried tomatoes before adding to the sauce.
02 -
The sauce thickens further as it stands, so serve immediately for best results.
