Blackstone Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortellini

Ingredients

• 1 pound cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound chicken breast, diced
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your Blackstone grill or a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add olive oil to the hot surface and sauté the diced chicken until it’s cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. It should turn golden brown.
3. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning over the chicken, mixing well to coat evenly.
4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Stir in the crumbled bacon, followed by the mozzarella cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
6. While the sauce is cooking, prepare the tortellini according to package instructions in a separate pot. Drain and set aside.
7. Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce, gently folding it in until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley for a pop of color.
