Description
A rich and creamy Asiago Tortellini Alfredo with tender grilled chicken, baked to perfection for a comforting and cheesy dinner.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces refrigerated five-cheese tortellini, cooked and drained
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets (3 to 4 pieces)
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons asiago cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange cooked tortellini in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken cutlets with the mixture.
- Grill the chicken over medium-high heat (425 to 450°F) for 7–8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest, then slice.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and garlic powder, stirring until fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the milk and cream, whisking continuously.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in grated parmesan cheese.
- Pour Alfredo sauce evenly over the tortellini in the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs, asiago cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle the mixture over the sauce.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.
- Top with sliced grilled chicken and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought grilled chicken for a quicker version.
- Substitute Asiago with Parmesan if needed.
- Great for meal prep—store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
