Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (9 oz) cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 slices of chicken, chopped
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Tortellini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions (3-5 minutes) until they float and are tender. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped chicken until cooked through and crispy (5-7 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving some grease in the skillet.
  3. Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add softened cream cheese and stir until melted. Gradually mix in heavy cream, stirring until combined. Add grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Combine: Gently fold in the cooked tortellini into the sauce, adding reserved pasta water for desired consistency. Stir in crispy chicken.
  5. Serve: Plate the tortellini and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
