Ingredients
  

  • Chicken breast: 2 boneless skinless breasts
  • Cheese tortellini: 1 package 16 ounces
  • Garlic cloves: 3 minced
  • Butter: 4 tablespoons
  • All-purpose flour: 4 tablespoons
  • Heavy cream: 2 cups
  • Parmesan cheese: 1 cup grated
  • Salt and pepper: to taste
  • Fresh parsley: for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preparing the Chicken:
  • Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
  • Sear the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side until they're fully cooked.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.
  • Cooking the Tortellini:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the tortellini to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions.
  • Once cooked, drain the tortellini and set it aside.
  • Preparing the Alfredo Sauce:
  • In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and garlic, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to create a roux.
  • Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuously whisking to avoid lumps.
  • Cook the sauce for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and combined.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bringing It All Together:
  • Add the cooked tortellini and sliced chicken to the Alfredo sauce.
  • Gently toss everything together until the tortellini and chicken are evenly coated.
  • Simmer the mixture for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
