- 1 onion (diced)

Cook 2 to 3 minutes total, flip them around halfway through, add more water, and cover again (if using the foil pan use caution as it will be hot). Set the pan or melting dome aside.

Add some cooking oil to the tortellini and to an empty space on the griddle. Put the chicken and onion over the oil and season with kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, flipping both the tortellini and chicken/ onions a few times with hibachi spatulas.

Add the spinach and garlic, combine and cook everything together on the griddle for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and combine with hibachi spatulas. Taste for seasoning and add more kosher salt, pepper, and/or crushed red pepper flakes. Serve with mozzarella cheese sprinkled over top if desired.Note: I scooped the dish into the foil pan that I used for the tortellini. Let cool for a few minutes so the Caesar dressing thickens up.
