Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, being careful not to brown it. Whisk in the flour to create a smooth garlic butter roux.
Gradually whisk in half of the heavy cream until the roux dissolves completely, then add the remaining cream. Continue whisking as the sauce thickens into a smooth, creamy consistency.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and parsley, whisking until the cheese melts completely. Add the cooked chicken and simmer for a few minutes, stirring often to heat the chicken through.
Fold the cooked cheese tortellini into the Alfredo sauce until evenly coated. Stir in the baby spinach, if using, and toss until wilted. Remove from the heat and serve immediately while hot and creamy.
