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 the cooked tortellini in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly in the mixture.
- Grill the chicken over medium-high heat (425 to 450°F) for 7 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest, then slice.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and garlic powder, stirring until fragrant. Sprinkle in flour and whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add milk and cream, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in grated parmesan cheese.
- Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the tortellini.
- In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs, asiago cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle the mixture over the sauce.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Top with sliced grilled chicken and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Add red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
- Swap tortellini with ravioli or spinach tortellini for variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F oven or microwave individual portions.
