Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 chicken breasts, diced
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 package alfredo sauce (I like Knorr) or 1 carton of prepared alfredo sauce

fresh grated pepper
fresh parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat a 325 degree oven.
  • If using dry tortellini, boil water and add tortellini, cook as directed and drain (have tortellini cooking when you start the chicken).
  • (If using fresh tortellini, set package aside until last couple of steps.) In a large oven safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Press garlic through garlic press and saute in olive oil until slightly browned.
  • Add diced chicken breasts and saute until juices run clear.
  • If using package of Alfredo sauce, mix ingredients for sauce and cook as directed (do while chicken is cooking).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your Alfredo chicken tortellini the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the tortellini: Tortellini should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked tortellini will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: There are many different Alfredo sauces available at the store. Choose one that is made with real cheese and cream, not a powdered mix.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms can add extra flavor and nutrition to your Alfredo chicken tortellini.
  • Serve immediately: Alfredo chicken tortellini is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it sits, so if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat.

Conclusion:

Alfredo chicken tortellini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious Alfredo chicken tortellini that your family and friends will love.
