Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 package cheese tortellini
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Add the shredded chicken, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until the sauce becomes creamy and the chicken is heated through.
-
Toss the cooked tortellini into the skillet, coating it well with the creamy sauce.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.
Notes
-
Vegetarian version: Replace the chicken with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables for a vegetarian alternative.
-
Extra creamy: Add more heavy cream or a splash of milk for a richer sauce.
-
Spicy kick: Toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a bit of heat.
-
Cheese blend: For a twist, try mixing in other cheeses like mozzarella, Gouda, or Asiago for added depth.
