A creamy, spicy garlic butter sauce coats tender chicken and cheese-filled tortellini, all cooked in one pot for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
Step 2: In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
Step 4: Add tortellini to the pot, stirring to coat. Cover and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes, until tortellini is tender.
Step 5: Return chicken to the pot, stirring to combine. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce is creamy.
Step 6: Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
