Instructions
In a large pot, whisk flour, salt and pepper into milk and stock; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cut chicken into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Stir chicken, tortellini and garlic into pot. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 8 min or until tortellini is almost tender and chicken is no longer pink inside. Add spinach, red pepper and lemon zest; cook, stirring, just until spinach is wilted.
Season to taste with hot pepper sauce. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan.
Tips
For the Adventurous: Use 3 cups (750 mL) chopped Swiss chard in place of half the spinach and add crisped strips of pancetta on top.
