Chicken & Spinach Tortellini Bake - yum!

Tonight I put together a dish with ingredients I had in the house and it turned out amazing, so I thought I would share!  Super yummy - I should have taken a picture, but it got devoured by our kids before I had a chance.  Enjoy.

1 c chopped onion

2 – 19 oz. bags of frozen cheese filled Tortellini
