A dish that combines tender chicken with cheesy tortellini enveloped in a rich and flavorful garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound Chicken breast, diced
12 ounces Cheese tortellini
4 tablespoons Butter
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 cup Chicken broth
1 cup Heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Incorporate the cooked chicken back into the skillet, followed by the cheese tortellini. Toss everything together gently to combine, allowing the tortellini to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
