A comforting pasta dish featuring cheese tortellini enveloped in a velvety garlic parmesan sauce topped with seared chicken.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let it rest; then slice into strips or cubes.
  2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  3. Using the same skillet, add more olive oil if necessary and sauté the minced garlic until it’s fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  4. Add the cooked tortellini and sliced chicken into the skillet with the garlic parmesan sauce. Toss everything together until well-coated and heated through.
  5. Plate your creamy garlic parmesan chicken tortellini immediately. Garnish with additional parmesan or chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of cream to maintain the sauce’s texture.
