Ingredients
📝 Ingredients
1 lb grilled chicken breast, sliced
18 oz refrigerated Asiago-stuffed tortelloni (or cheese tortellini)
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded Asiago cheese
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: fresh parsley, basil, lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
Grill the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Grill for 6–7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.
Cook the Tortelloni: Boil in salted water according to package instructions (3–5 minutes). Drain and reserve ¼ cup pasta water.
Make Alfredo Sauce: In a skillet, melt butter or heat oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in cream and simmer 2–3 minutes. Add cheeses and stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Thin sauce with pasta water if needed.
Combine: Add tortelloni to sauce and toss gently. Top with sliced chicken.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle fresh herbs, cracked pepper, or lemon zest. Serve warm with salad or garlic bread.
Notes
Use store-bought grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken in a pinch.
Half-and-half can be used for a lighter sauce.
Add-ins like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes give great variety.
