Description
A creamy and delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tortellini dish that combines tender chicken, cheese tortellini, and a rich garlic Parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Add steamed broccoli or spinach for extra veggies and flavor.
