Looking for a comforting, creamy dish to win hearts? This Marry Me Chicken Tortellini recipe combines tender chicken and cheesy tortellini in a rich, flavorful sauce that’s simply irresistible!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 9 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Directions:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the tortellini and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
